Automatic Font selection in reports

I'm looking for a way of fitting variable length text strings into a
fixed-width text box in a report. What I want to do is use the largest
size font that will fit the text on one line, automatically reducing the
font size if the text is too long for one line.

I'm using A2000 but could use 2003 if that offers the option. Does 2007
have it?
