Placing multi-line, text-based objects
While text-based objects that are formatted to print on multiple lines follow
the same design rules as other objects, they have one additional characteristic
to be considered. If the printer driver expands or contracts the spacing of
the text, word wrapping may differ, changing the number of lines necessary
to print the object in order to accommodate growth or shrinkage.
When placing multi-line text-based objects, you could encounter problems
if other objects in the same section are placed directly below them.
Unlike single-line text-based objects, expanding the object frame of a
multi-line text-based object to accommodate growth is not a viable option.
When you do this, the line width increases according to the expanded
boundaries.
So, when possible, place multi-line text-based objects at the bottom of a
section. If they require more lines to print, the section expands downward to
accommodate the growth, and they do not endanger other objects.
