Hi,

Try making all other objects below the 'stretching' memo field set to FLOAT so that they do not get overwritten/overlap with the memo field when it stretches.

I have then moved the text to the page footer but I now have a gap of about 2 inches between the memo field and the text even though the divider between the page and the page footer is hard up against the memo field on the one hand and the text on the other.
