When this property is set to Yes, a Table Cell’s height can be automatically increased, if required, to fit the text. If there are other controls below the current Table Cell, they will be pushed down to prevent them from overlapping. That if a control overlaps the growing Table Cell by even one pixel, it will not be pushed down by the expanded Table Cell.
When this property is set to Yes, and the text does not completely fill a Table Cell, then the Table Cell’s height will be decreased to the height of its text. If there are other controls below the current Table Cell, they will be moved up to fill the gap. That if a control overlaps the shrinking Table Cell by even one pixel, it will not be pushed up by the shrunk Table Cell.
Specifies whether the contents of a Table Cell can be horizontally split across pages. In other words, if a Table Cell occupies more space than remains on the page, this property specifies whether this Table Cell should be split between the current page and the next, or whether it will be printed entirely on the next page. If it does not fit on the next page either, then the Table Cell will be split despite this property's setting.
When this property is set to Yes, a Table Cell processes newline characters found in the text to start a new line. For example, when editing a Table Cell’s text, a new line can be inserted by pressing ENTER, and in this case, the Multiline property will be automatically set to Yes.

When this property is set to Yes, text entered into the multiline Label is wrapped to the next line if it does not fit the line or is interrupted by a newline character. If the property is set to No, text entered into the multiline Label will be displayed on the same line except where forced onto a new line by a newline character.
If the current report is bound to data, this property is used to bind some of a Table Cell’s properties (Bookmark, Navigation URL, Tag and Text) to a data field obtained from the report's data source, and to apply a format string to it. Refer to Display Values from a Database (Bind Report Elements to Data) for further information.
