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.
