This example shows you how to set up expanding textfields that will maintain their relative horizontal/x position, as they expand onto a new page. While you would normally place expanding objects in a Flowed subform, in this case you wrap the textfields in a Positioned subform, but set its height to Auto-fit.
An alternative would be to use a Table object in a Flowed subform.

Hi there.
Is is possible to have something similar working however instead of having 3 positioned text boxes, have 3 subforms holding texts boxes which are flowed Top to Bottom inside a containing subform which is flowed Western text?
Thanks,
