I have managed to create (I think - have yet to test) boxes to fit around text on the Design view page, but I cannot make the size of the box move with the size of the text. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
Hi John,

When you say "Design view page", do you mean design view of a report? If so, set the Can Grow
and Can Shrink properties for the text box to Yes. Open the report in design view. Click on
View > Properties to display the properties dialog if it is not already displayed. Select the
textbox in question. You should see "Text Box: NameOfTextbox" in the blue title bar of the
properties dialog, where NameOfTextbox is the actual name of your textbox. Select the Format
tab. The Can Grow and Can Shrink properties are the 5th & 6th properties, respectively. Note
that any growth will be in the vertical direction.

Tom
