I'm investigating the feasibility of using LO Base again after a couple 
of years have passed. I have to say that I'm very happy with the 
progress that has been made on Base and reports since I last looked into 
it! I hope development on it continues at a steady pace. Kudos to the devs!

My first roadblock to printing the reports I need is that I can't seem 
to find a way to make a memo or text field with a variable height. I 
have several fields that contain anywhere from a few to hundreds of 
characters spanning several lines. If I'm forced to create a field in 
the report that is big enough to display all of the largest entries, 
I'll be needlessly blowing through reams of paper. I'm sure there must 
be a way to create a variable height field which will grow to fit the 
data that needs to be displayed and I'm just not finding it.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!
