When the text field names expands, all other text field should expands too and all line objects should adjust accordingly.


Solution

  • Put each "row" of your form in different sections. When a field grows vertically your section expands and all following sections will adjust.

    I assume you print in the Detail section. For your example:

    example

    If {yourtable.names} vertically expands the whole section Details b will move down.

    Make sure to draw your vertical lines into the following section or to check Extend to Bottom of Section when Printing in the Line Format Editor - or else your line will be too short if a text field inside a section expands.
