Default Memo Fields Splitting On Reports

I have Can Grow and Can Shrink set to yes in all the appropriate places
according to previous responses on this site. However, if my memo field is
too large to fill out the current page, it begins a new one. Does Access 2003
have a way to make the Memo field perform as the word wrap function in Word
does? That is, can the report be made to be continuous text instead of having
all the white spaces?

Thank you.

Not innately within ACCESS. You'd need to write some very complex code to
try to split the text across two pages, and it's not always going to be
successful. For one example, see http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm and
scroll down to find the link to a file named AndreRTF.zip.

Thanks for your reply. I will have to wait until day after tomorrow to try
that.
