Memo Field overflow

I am using Crystal 10. I have a couple memo boxes that are printing outside of the field size I set up for them. This is causing them to print over the box located below them on the report. Is there a way to force the info to stay in it's box?
 
How was this BOX created, using Insert->Box, or by setting up Borders on the field itself? The latter will just expand.

If you have the Can Grow on, you can also select the maximum number of lines alongside of that so that it will not expand out of a BOX. Or you can trunctae the field by using something like:

left({table.field,X)

Where X is the max length you want the field to go before truncating the rest of the text.

You can also dynamically shrink the size of the font to allow more characters.
