Putting text/image on lines with multi-line memo fields

I have a document that display several single/multi-line memo fields that are word wrapped. They may look like____line 1.....................................................__blank line__line 2.....................................................__.............................................end line 2__blank line__line 3.....................................................__...........................................................__....................end line 3.____I would like to put some text and/or an image on the first line of each word-wrapped memo. However the text/image does not respect the single/multi line continuations. Thus, in the specification, it looks like this.____text/image1 line1wordwrapped field__blank__test/image2 line2wordwrapped field__blank__test/image3 line3wordwrapped field__blank____The output is such that the text/images are on lines 1, 3 and 5 without regard to the actual number of lines for the wordwrapped fields. ____How to you get the text/image to show separately on the first line of each item, taking into account the number of total lines in the wordwrapped memo field.

If I understand your question, properly, I think the answer is that you create the lines with your images and the memo fields as "freeform" height and just expand them enough to hold the image file comfortably.____I just did a quick report where I had two such lines (using the same memo field), but two separate pictures on 1/2" lines separated by a standard record line.____The results were what I would have hoped for. That is, each line with the memo was aligned with a picture with word wrapping going down through the freeform band and then the next line starting with a new picture and a new memo file.

I will review this.____Even without an image, I encountered this problem. ____I have a single text field That should be on the first line of a word wrapped multi-line memo field, either from memo file or text file. This is what I would like:____**satisfied** This is a multi-line condition that should be reported__ to the user.____**needs info** This is a different multi-line condition that should be__ reported to the user and it is something that they need__ to take care of.____**satisfied** This is a mult-line condition that only takes one line.____**satisfied** This is a multi-line condition that should be reported__ to the user.____I tried putting the first field on the line and then the word-wrapped field on the same line, but I am not getting the desired output. What I am getting is:____**satisfied** This is a multi-line condition that should be reported__ to the user.__**needs info**__ This is a different multi-line condition that should be__**satisfied** reported to the user and it is something that they need__ to take care of.__**satisfied**__ This is a mult-line condition that only takes one line.____ This is a multi-line condition that should be reported__ to the user.____The first field is operating independently of the wrapped memo/text file field. The first field is not being put on the first line of each multi-line memo field. The line height is currently automatic but I previously had lines as fixed height and had the same problem.____Can you provide a sample rrw file showing how you had it working.____Cliff__

The previous message did lost some of the formatting when posted. The multi line comments should not have wrapped to the beginning of the line but rather should wrap at the column position.____But the key is that the separate field did not respect starting at the first line of the memo, but rather operated independently. I would like to know how to address that, if possible.____Cliff
