In the excute section of report I use:

real nameHeight;

nameHeight =
this.controlName("Name").heightOfWordWrappedString100mm(custInvoiceTrans.Name);

if (nameHeight != this.controlName("Name").height100mm())
this.controlName("Name").height100mm(nameHeight);

I've set the field to 32 wide and the above figures out how high to make it.
This works in 2.5 for reports.
