Work description being cutoff in word format

Posted on by

I am trying to create another report format of 1304 - Sales Quote. In my format, I have added the field WorkDescriptionLine but it is cutting off and not pulling in the full WorkDescription, however, on some of the other quote formats, it pulls in the full information. Is there something I need to do to be able to increase the field length capability within Word? Below is an example of one that works:

And mine that doesn't work:

There is a difference where the one works has a + sign, but I am not sure how that is added or if that is what is missing?

    I was able to resolve this, I just had to add the field content controls "repeating" first, then add the field WorkDescriptionLine as plain text.

    I tried this, but again it is still just cutting off.

    Maybe try to create a table (or one cell of table) then add the description into table then Table Properties -> Cell -> Options then like below. You can hide table borders later.
