About frame and repeating frame sizing

For each object or record, a frame or repeating frame’s size can be expandable, contractible, variable, or fixed (specified by the Horizontal Elasticity and Vertical Elasticity properties).

For example, you can set the properties to specify that it should be fixed in size horizontally, but expand vertically if a record requires more space.
In the figure below, notice that there are four records for department 20, but only one record each for departments 10 and 30. The repeating frame has expanded vertically to accommodate department 20’s additional records.

figure illustrating above description

Frames or repeating frames that contract horizontally or vertically reduce in size when an object or record requires less space than the frame or repeating frame’s initial size. A frame or repeating frame may also be variable in size: it expands or contracts based on the size of the value it displays. Also, if a frame or repeating frame is fixed in size and an object or record’s data requires a larger field than it can contain, the remaining data will be pushed onto the following page(s) in the same x and y coordinates.
