Text overflow and overwriting when reports are viewed by clients

The viewer we use is crystal 12 Tag jsp viewer

Reports that display fine in our client/server application display overlapping fields in our Web application when viewed by the customer. In design the reports can be viewed, printed or exported with no overlapping. For many of the reports the 'Can Grow' option set to 0 or 1 is fine, but what about date/time fields? Those overlap when the field is sized to display only the date portion. How do I work around this? Is there a printer setting I can use when creating the reports that will force the viewer to display the report as written?

I think I mistakenly posted this question to the wrong forum. I'm not sure how to move it to the Business Objects: Crystal Reports 4 Other Topics. So I'm going to copy and post there. If swear I'm not attempting to double post. I'm just ignorant to the method of moving an incorrectly added post. Sorry.

Actually, this is the correct place for this. If your java app is running on a Windows server, there is a registry setting you can use:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Saved Data

Add the key TruncateClippedFieldStrings = Yes

If you're not running on Windows, I'm not sure how you would configure this.
