Does 'acFormatRTF' support lines? 1

[rcoutts]

I have an invoice report with a few 2-pt. horizontal lines. The look great as a preview, but when I export them to Microsoft Word as an RTF file using "DoCmd.OutputTo,...acFormatRTF,..." I lose the lines. Does RTF not support lines?

Thanks!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. No, RTF does not support lines, checkboxes, etc. I had to redesign a report because of this and so I know how infuriating this can be.

I read somewhere that you can simulate a line by adding a label (or text) box under the text you want to underline and fill the box with the underscore character. (Set the box to the width of the text to underline. I think there's a function that will fill the box with the character you specify.)
