Text box resizing problem

I hope I can make this clear as to what my problem is.

I want to have a form/report that allows the text box to resize according to it's content and as I have several text boxes on the same form I would like the second/third/fourth.... to move down the page according to the amount of space taken up by the text box above. These boxes will continue the words of songs which are different lengths so it is difficult to determine what the length of the text box needs to be. NB: The width of the page is not an issue as the songs are all listed one below the other.

If anyone has other ideas on how to do this I would greatly appreciate their assistance.

Regards and Thank you
Kiwi

I think all you need is to set the CanGrow property of all
the text boxes to Yes.

I have done this but it does not appear to work.

Any other suggestions

It should work. One thing I forgot to mention is that you
have to make sure that the Top of each text box is below the
bottom of the text box directly above it, i.e. they can not
overlap.

Also, double check to make sure the section's CanGrow
property is set to Yes.
