Any way to wrap text in Report Writer?

[sqlhotdog2005]

... using an existing string field, not a note or comment field?

The Report Writer does not wrap most of the time, I think it is only Text fields which get wrapped.

You can use calculated fields with User Defined RW Functions to do the wrapping for you. Functions like RW_Left(), RW_Right() and RW_ParseString().

Details of the functions can be found in the Report Writer Programmer's Interface document in the SDK (Software Development Kit). The SDK can be loaded from the Tools folder of CD2 of the Great Plains install CDs.

Thanks, Dave... we knew you would have some advice on this. I'm not exactly sure how we'll parse it, but we'll take a look.
