How do I get a memo field to print out information outside of it's viewing
area?

I've used two memo fields of 6 lines each in a one page report form. If the
user types in 10 lines in a memo field a scroll bar is automatically created
for on-screen viewing. How do I get all of the contents of the memo field to
print causing multiple page reports as required?
 
Sounds like you're printing the form. Use a report instead, and make sure
the CanGrow properties of the text box and of the section that contains it
are set to 'Yes'.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

By using a Report with a textbox bound to the memo field, with its Can
Grow property set to true (the Section containing the textbox should
also be set to Can Grow but that's the default).
