Recalled report, containing ordinary lines almost bursting with content? (7)

I believe the answer is:

swollen

'almost bursting with content?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'recalled report containing ordinary lines' is the wordplay.
'recalled report' becomes 'swen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'containing' indicates putting letters inside.
'ordinary' becomes 'O' (abbreviation e.g. O-Levels).
'lines' becomes 'll' (an abbreviation for line written twice).
'o'+'ll'='oll'
'swen' enclosing 'oll' is 'SWOLLEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swollen that I've seen before include "Engorged" , "Enlarged" , "Bloated" , "Protuberant" , "Inflamed" .)
