I'm writting our own Pictorial Directory. I'm almost done with it and am very pleased. We use the Family-Notes field in the Contact/Notes tab to record Family Interests. These can range from one to who knows how many. This is a variable number of lines field. Can anyone show me how I can get all the lines in this box to print unto a report? I'm stumped.
Thanks much.

When you add the field to the report layout, check the box that says stretch with overflow. This will let that field grow with its contents.

If the field is already on the report, double click it to bring up it's property window to check the stretch with overflow option.
