Ah, that rings a bell as an oft requested feature improvement. You might want to wade through LO's bugzilla to see if someone hasn't already registered this - it may well even have come up on this mailing list before. At present, there is no way that I know of to do what you want, other than making your text fields sufficiently dimensioned when creating yur report to take account of the odd record or two that exceeds the single line.
