Pete, How far are you prepared to kludge this?
Set the margin for the field to 0 Under Basic Properties unclick 'fixedLineHeight' and set the 'firstIndent' to 4 (or something you like). Now the part that gets ugly: For the content of your field insert in the line before your content a ` character - the character to the left of 1 on a qwerty keyboard. And add and extra line at the end of your content that is just a period - . You now need to set the text size of the first and last line to 4 or thereabouts. Unfortunately highlighting the character in question and selecting Size -> Other... from the Text Menu on my OS X 10.8.2 running LC 5.5.3 doesn't do anything, so I select 8 point size instead. Then in the Message box I: put the htmlText of fld "Kludge" into tStore replace "8" with "6" in tStore set the htmlText of fld "Kludge" to tStore On my set up, setting the background color of a line misses one pixel on the left, but goes all the way to the right. I can not see or select the first and last lines. It is very close to resembling a highlighted line. All you'll need to worry about is keeping track of what is real content and what is dummy padding.
