The best way to describe the kind of report I must produce is to imagine having to create a report that displays a blog entry.
The report header would need to show the author, date and most importantly the body of the blog entry. For this reason, I need the report header to automatically grow (the header, not just the field Furthermore, if it’s large enough, the reporting system needs to page it.
Secondly, I need to display all the comments in the item detail. Comments can be rather long themselves, so they produce the same questions as above.
Is this possible with the reporting system?

Hello Nick,
The Report Header will grow with it's content and will be paged if it's longer than one page. About the comments, you can add the comments field in the Detail section or use a data item such us List/Table. Just to note that the default report item's KeepTogether property is set to True and if the item can't fit on the current page the report engine tries to render it on the next page. Thus a Page Break occurs, our suggestion is to set the KeepTogether = False on all relevant items that may not fit on a single page. If the item can't fit on the next Page, KeepTogether is being set to False.
