Changing layout of a text box in a report

[Epsilon101]

Hi I have a large text box used on a form to enter some notes, as it is a certain width it returns to a new line.

Example : fjalkd jalkdjawlkwal kdjlkd
foiajdwajdo iwowjidwio jdio
jfkofjekleklfj klefjekj klj

I have a report which has these details across it, and the report is longer than the box, but the layout still stays the same inside the box when shown on the report.

Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
| fjalkd jalkdjawlkwal kdjlkd
| foiajdwajdo iwowjidwio jdio
-----------------------------------------------------------
jfkofjekleklfj klefjekj klj

I am wondering if there is a way to have the text change to this sort of layout for the same notes.

-----------------------------------------------------------
|fjalkd jalkdjawlkwal kdjlkd foiajdwajdo iwowjidwio jdio |jfkofjekleklfj klefjekj klj
-----------------------------------------------------------

that sort of thing, maybe even showing where the returns where made, but putting all the info in longer lines so it takes up a lot less space

---------------------------------------
KKhhhaaaaNNNN!!!

If the user types the data into the form text box then it should display as a long string of characters in your Report textbox control. There should not be the look of having a line return at the end of each line as you would in word processing document.

Post back with more information because I cannot duplicate what you are describing here.
