Thank you both. I tried your suggestion WIll but same thing. Even though the bounding box was stretched down, the cut off was at the same spot.
I will take a look at this article and follow up if there is a resolution.

If you want to send me a copy (or clone with some example reocrds) of the file, I'll take a quick look. If you click my name there is a place to send me a file directly under the EE messaging system without having to post it publicly.

Thanks WIll. Actually we looked further into the templates and I realized it was not making the changes to the correct one. Once we went in to Edit mode we can choose another "sub-template". Once we stretched the text field down and then set the Position tab to Slide Up and Resize the print came out perfect.

Thanks for your help.
