split text elements into 2 lines...

then while display use 2 texts instead one..

example.

write:/ text-001,text-002.

Hi Narendra,

If you create a text element in a report then it will take upto 132 characters and if you create a text element with message then it will accept upto 72 characters only.

Thanks,

Vinay
