How do I set this text box to print the entire description (on more than one line, if necessary)?

I thought about it but not yet done. I have other reports where the memo field is places in a text box and it prints on multiple lines without having to resize the textbox. So, I am trying to figure if I am doing something wrong or this is a "feature" of VFP.
