The can grow option adjusted for 1 or 0 line(s) only makes the object field grow vertically (like a word wrap) or not grow horizontally at all, nor does tight horizontal. The field does have borders on each side (boxed in), there doesnt seem to be a size and position X2 property unlike crystal report XI
I've looked at

but, for which format object property is there a formula to grow horizontally using a select case variable width size?

if you have cr xi or later you can put a formula in the x-2 for 'Size and Width'. The things to remember are the sizes are in twips, which have 1440 to the inch, and the sizes are relative/position are relative to where they were designed. The other caveat, is that the length of the string is meaningless, since the font is probably a porportional font, and CR does not give any facility to determine just how long the line will be DISPLAYED, so figuring out how wide to make the report object is difficult.
hope this helps, and have fun
