Sorry, this is such a long explanation of the problem. I am creating legal documents, similar to form letters, where, in certain instances I want a series of blank spaces to print on the document. Within a text object, I have inserted formulas that test if specified fields are null. If not, it prints the data. If it is, I want it to print a given number of spaces, leaving a blank space on the document so that there is sufficient room for the information to be typed in after the report/document has been printed.
I have tried using the space(x) function, however, the problem is that if I designate, for example, 50 characters, and the starting point of the string is 25 characters from the right margin of the text object, instead of completing the remaining 25 characters on the next line, it appears the text wrapping feature trim these remaining spaces.
I've attempted to use underscores instead of spaces, but the problem with these characters is that the text object wants to treat these like any other word, that is as a single contiguous string. So, for example, using a formula such as: If IsNull{Field.Name} Then ReplicateString("_",50), again, if the string were to start printing 25 characters from the right margin, the text wrapping feature would instead move the entire string to the following line. This leaves a large indentation and doesn't quite have the professional look the document should have. I'd rather have it print the 25 characters on the one line and the remaining 25 of the subsequent line. In other words, temporarily turning off the text wrapping for this one string.
Anyone have any suggestions??
