I agree there is no simply way of doing this with returns,
paragraphs, multiple fields, and... However, I am sure if someone
wants to get really fancy they could write a JavaScript rule to do
this. And then, only run the rule when you want to see that specific
case. The reason we do not have this, probably coincides the features
we *do* have to help text fit, flow text, or to say text is not
fitting a frame.
The paragraph and text frame would have to be populated by one rule.
Another rule would basically do a full composition and check the
longest/shortest, skipping every record. Then on the last record, the
best/worst case would be rendered to a record. You can get trickier
or stay simply depending on what you wish to accomplish. For example
there is a difference between how many characters are printed and how
may character a return tagged text may have, if there are tags in the
text.
I have not actually tried this, but conceptually should work. If
someone gets it to work, send it to me and I will give it to someone
to put up on the knowledge-base.
