Alignment problem with numerical fields in details section 1

[helenv]

I've put together a report in version 8.5, and am exporting it to Acrobat PDF.

I'm having trouble lining up a field in the details section. All the fields are anchored to the same top guiding line in the details section, and all fields are the same font and text size.

On screen in Crystal they appear in line, but when printed from crystal, or exported to Acrobat (either viewed on screen or when printed out) for some reason a couple of the fields appear marginally below the rest of the fields. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the fields in question are all numerical fields calculated in (different) formulas. However, there is another numerical field on the report calculated in a formula that appears inline with the rest of the data. Any ides what might cause this?

I've tried shuffling the fieds around to a new guideline but always get the same problem (witht he same fields).

Thanks

Make sure all of the fields on a given line are of the same height, too.

Nope - they're all the same height..

Is 'snap to grid' on? We had a similar problem, whereby a report that looked fine on the screen misaligned some fields when printed. And that fixed it.

Thanks for your help, I think that might have been the one that'd push me over the edge...

I turned of snap to grid which didn't make any difference, but when I wen in and messed around with a font format property of another field, and then changed it back again, it all sorted itself out!
