Auto-sizing controls?

I have a report which lists items and one of the fields called Description
could be very long or short depending on the item. I have to provide 200
characters for this field but in the the report, it gets truncated. How do I
configure such fields to be "auto-sizing" meaning, if there is only 1 line,
use one line of space but if the data cannot fit into 1 line, to wrap around
and automatically expand that field downwards like the wrap text property of
the cell in Excel? Thanks.

Click to expand...

Set the CanGrow property of the control to Yes (and the section).
