Hi Everyone,

I have a text field that is set as an HTML format. The query is pulling a field from the database that is HTML formatted and all of the HTML formatting shows correctly but here is my problem. The HTML field doesn't know how to properly deal with periods that have no spaces on either side such as "4.25" and Parenthesis such as in "contains(s)" when the right hand side of the HTML field box is reached. I'm not sure if other punctuation is causing the same issue

Examples:
[ul]
[li]"The 4.24 grams" will become "The 4.
24 grams"[/li]
[li]"The box contain(s)" will become "The box contain(
s)"[/li]
[/ul]

There doesn't seem to be the logic of Word to see the . with no space to the right of it and keep the two parts around the . together. The same issue with the (.

The Crystal Report is being changed to a PDF and I was able to see the problem in the Crystal Report report before it was changes to a PDF.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Christy
