Sorry to say, you are going to have to deal with it in the number of rows.
I have had to do a few similar things to ensure proper positioning. The only way I was ever able to deal with it was to control the data set completely to ensure nothing could grow in size. If you have details that can cause word-wrap, return these as individual records in your recordset. You will then be able to control the output by the number of returned records.

Brilliant! Thanks.
Did you use mono-space fonts then for the detail lines? If not, what method did you use to determine where an entry would wrap?

I was dealing with insurance paperwork - which had to be in a some specific true-type font - so all of the characters were the same width.
If you are using a variable-width font, you could be in some serious trouble. You could "guesstimate" and just set your textboxes to not grow - or change fonts.
