Well, by definition the memo field is for unlimited text size (limited with VFP system capacities) You can stick the full text of "War And Peace" into a memo field in one record and theoretically it can be printed in report, however I did not to output very large memo fields in the report (not more than a couple of pages) so the best thing is to try it. The bottlenecks may be the RAM size, also there are some bugs (for example see this) and possible report memory leaks.
