Default Report Border Box Expansion

I am generating a report which needs to have border boxes around the detail data fields. My problem is.. Some of the fields wrap to more than 1 line. I am not sure if there is a way to expand the fields' whose borders don't wrap so the boxes are uniform on the output page.
I guess what I want to do is set the box height to the max used on the print line.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

If you do this, the font in each expanded box will default to the bottom of the text box, not the top, as with the Can Grow boxes, if there is only enough text for one line.

I think you can do this, but it won't look right. You need to reference the height of the tallest box. I am not sure if this can be done on the fly, but I could get you started.
