murilo Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi! I just searched the forum and couldn't find a solution to my problem, so here it is, I have a rectangle around two elements in which one might grow larger than its original size (stretch with overflow) so the rectangle around it should grow with it, but it doesn't! I've tried all possible different combinations of stretch types with fields and the rectangle, also tried grouping them, but nothing worked! The text always overflows going over the rectangle :( The worst part is i need it urgently! Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advance for any info!

But i still wish there was an easier way to accomplish this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
