Crystal Reports Wrapping Text Field from Dataset

Question

I'm working with crystal reports and visual studio 2010 to show a reports from sql server database. So i have this large text field (varchar(500)) and retrieved it with dataset to generate the reports. The problem is, the text field on my report instead of wrapping the text to fit the box, it cuts off on the right hand side and does not bring it down a line. I did not see any design time properties that looked like they directly affected the text wrapping function. What i have done so far :

1. I have use the can grow option and set the approciate limit, but it still overlaping the line.
2. I Also have try to insert the datafield inside text object, but nothing changed.

What am I missing?

Thankyou in advance

Answer 1

Right click on the text field, select 'format object', go to the common tab, and check "Can Grow". This allows the textbox to grow down as the text wraps.

Answer 2

Try this,

1. Right click the field you want to word wrap
2. Select "Format Object" option
3. select "Can Grow" checkbox
4. Maximum number of lines "1" or keep it "0" to ignore line limit.

This should work..
