Delphi 7 and Report builder 7.03.

i have a report for the book titles. how can dynamically shift that row to
wrap a very long title below and before the next record?

example ..

title = a very very very long title in a long story

shelf no call no author name title
copyright
1 808.20 Alvin Candare a very very very long title-->
cut 1982
2 808.21 alvin candare delphi a beginners guide

like this..

shelf no call no author name title
copyright
1 808.20 alvin candare a very very long title
1982
in a long story
2 808.21 alvin candare delphi a beginners guide

Hi Alvin,

Before the DBText prints you will need to get its value and manually measure
the text to see if it will fit in the alloted space. If it will not, you
can then resize the DBText component and have it wrap so the title will fit
correctly. I would suggest trying the DetailBand.BeforePrint event.
