Allow a Text Box to Grow or Shrink (Report Builder and SSRS)
By default, text boxes are a fixed size. You can set options that let the text box expand or shrink based on its contents. These options correspond to the CanGrow or CanShrink properties in the Properties pane.
Note
You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. For more information, see Designing Reports in Report Designer and Report Builder (SSRS) on the Web at microsoft.com.
