Export text file in Landscape issue...

[simmolinho]

Hi there,

I'm attempting to export a report as a text file in landscape format.

The report in crystal is in landscape, the font is courier, however when I open it following the export in Wordpad the columns are squashed together with some data truncated - almost as if its been reformatted to allow a portrait view in Wordpad.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try applying the service pack:

The real question is why are you exporting to Text or Paginated Text format? Do you have a specific business reason?

If so, then you should open the exported file in the native format (Notepad). .txt files can certainly be accessed with other applications, but then you're bound to the foibles of those tools unless you create 'virtual' page formatting within the report by insert ASCII characters for End of Line.
