Hello All;

I need to show a field in my report that has 200 chracters and I just have 30 char space in my report. How can I wrap the data to be able to show the whole 200 chracters?

Thanks;

Mitra
 
Hey,
Its just as simple as that...right click the data item and go to properties and then LAYOUT tab and then check multi-line with word wrap...then it allows you the whole 200 character set....
Try it out!!

GK
 
If it's an on-line report (i.e. not a paper copy), I'd suggest a drill-thru report to show just this column. The word-wrap would get ugly fast (i.e 200/30 = ~ 7 lines) and may not wrap at all unless there are spaces in the right places for it to break on.
