1. Right-click over the 'Length_In' DBText component and set the DisplayFormat to #,0;-#,0 (the first DisplayFormat in the list).

2. Select all of the components in this region.

3. Set the AutoSize property to True in the Object Inspector.

4. Right-click over the white space of the Region and select the ShiftRelativeTo… menu option.

5. Select the rgMemo region from the drop-down list and then click the OK button.

Note: We set the Stretch property of the DBMemo component to True. That means that each time the memo prints, the height will expand or contract based on the amount of text in the Notes field. Because the memo is contained within a region, that region will also stretch to accommodate the memo. When that happens, we want to position the fields containing the DBText components immediately below the Memo region. We do this by setting the ShiftRelativeTo property of the Fields region to the Memo region.

6. Select File | Save from the Delphi main menu.

7. Close the Report Designer.
