Boxes and word wrap

I am creating a report like a catalog and I want it to be laid out like a grid with a row for each product and columns for name, price, and description. I want lines separating the rows and columns so I inserted boxes on the record band. The description field is wordwrapped, however, and when the record height grows the box height doesn^t! The same thing happens if I use vertical lines.____What is the problem??____-Bob____

Group by product and have the box start on a product group header and finish on a product group footer. Use a record band for the word wrapped fields and it should give you the desired result.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Thanks but putting the top and bottom of the box on their own band lines (product header and footer) adds two lines between each product so it looks triple spaced. That solution would be ok if I were allowed to reduce the size of the band to the width of the box^s line but I can^t get it anywhere near that small.____-Bob

Make sure that snap to grid is not enabled. If it is on, it limits band size to grid increments. If it is off, you can make your band line as small as you want.____Kathleen__R&R Support
