I have enabled the can grow/ shrink option on certain boxes that may contain
more info than can be displayed. When I click on the box the scroll bars
appear on the right side. When I scroll up or down though nothing happens
and I need to move the cursor along the line to read the entire info.
How can I make the box increase in size when I click on it to show all the
entered data?

thanks

Can Grow and Can Shrink on forms only have an effect when the form is
printed. And the controls grow vertically only.

Have you tried typing Shift+F2 when you are in the control? That should
ZOOM the control and show you more data.

Click to expand...

The can grow/can shrink apply only to *printing* the form - not to
viewing it online, unfortunately!

You can click into the textbox and press Shift-F2 to open a "zoom box"
- a larger popup containing the text. There's no easy way to make a
textbox on a form shrink or expand as you are requesting.
