Justify text in a textbox on a report

[roddy17]

Hi there,
I am wondering if there is any way of justifying text that appears on a text box.
On the form, it doesn't really matter how the text looks in the text box, but my superior wants me to produce a professional looking report (where the blocks of text are justified) so that he can give it to others.
Is there a way to do this?
thankyou

Well, as far as I know, there's no way to do this, assuming you mean full (ie left and right) justification. You might try a rich text box (which should be accessible from your toolbar, under the More Controls button, but mine's not working right now...

Dear Roddy:
In Access2000 there is a "text align" property that includes the choice "distribute" that is the closest I've come to a justified format (I think it works best with wide boxes). You might want to play with that and with the margin properties.
Best of luck.
