I've always just worked around this, but there must be a more "proper" way to draw dynamic text boxes.
If I draw a box that isn't the exact size I want/need, I adjust it in the properties. However, using embedded text fed by XML, the text is always stretched from the original size that I first drew.
Can anyone explain to me an easier way to draw a dynamic text box and not have this happen?
For example, say I've got a text box 150x100 with 12pt external text, and now I want that box to be 150x400. I adjust it in the properties for the text box, and when the content renders, it's stretched in height just like I stretech the box. I need to find a way to be able to edit these boxes and not have it stretch the dynamic content.
