Can Grow and keeping several Strings in line with eachother

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have two text boxes that are filled with a formula for a string value. One of the text boxes is always less than 5 characters long and the box that it sits in is only a single line. The second text box, however, contains a name and that name can be up to 50 characters long. This box uses "Can Grow".  Both of these boxes have a bottom border, so when the second string is long, the boxes are completely out of alignment. This is shown in the attachment I've provided.

Does anyone know of a way that I can make both boxes align bottom, regardless if one grows or not?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it.

Regards,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

There's a workaround for the issue in this thread:

Let me know if that works.

Hi Abhliash,

Unfortunately, the two width's can't be the same size. I think what I'm going to try is use carriage returns to plant line breaks within the string based on the length of the can grow field. I'll have to guesstimate how many characters there are per line, but I'm fairly sure that it'll work.

Thanks for the response.
