Hi Folks - I have a document that is driven by ASK/REF fields. In one area, I am having a difficult time forcing the text into a certain area. For instance I have something that looks like this:
XXXX
YYYYY
ZZZZZZZZZ
The lines are graphic lines. They do not move with the text. My problem arises when the XXXX REF data in so long that it wraps to the next line. This forces all other lines to "go down one line", which forces ZZZZZ down, etc. Is there anyway to to wrap the multi-line XXXX area without forcing another paragraph mark? Thanks for your help.
Have the lines as a graphic that you put behind the text.

Hope this helps.

Doug - Thanks for the reply. I don't think I clarified my situation enough. When XXXX wraps, a new paragraph line is created. The graphic lines do NOT move, but the ZZZZ text does. Is there anyway to prevent the ZZZZ text from moving down one line when either XXXX or YYYY is multi-line? Thanks.

You need to be setting this up inside the cells of a borderless table that has fixed row heights.
