I have a problem with reports where the data is typed in Greek. I have text boxes in my report with the CanGrow property set to true.
When the text needs more than one line the text box grows but the line break is not set to where a word ends and the words are broken (half of the word is on the first line and the other half is on the next line)
For example if a record has in the name field the value "George Papadopoulos" and the text box is smaller, in english it breaks it in two lines by setting the line break where a word ends as follows:

George
Papadopoulos

But when the data that I enter are in Greek the line break is not set somewhere that a word ends and the name is sometimes broken like this:

George Papad
opoulos

This problem occurs only in Access 2002. In Access 2000 it works ok and it doesn't matter in which language is the data written. It just knows that a word ends when a space is found.
I don't know if this is a bug or not and I don't know how to search for it on the Microsot knowledge base. How is this problem called? It's not truncation, right? It must be called something else.
I have Access 2002 with service pack 3.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?

 
Have no idea on how to solve it but you might search Mircrosoft for 'Word Wrap Problem'.

Hope this helps.

Thanx. I think Word wrap matches the problem but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about it in Microsoft knowledge base.
Any other ideas?
 

Although that problem on the Microsoft site is not the same as in my case I thought I could try the solution or at least I could try changing the Sort Order to Greek but there is no choice "Greek" for Sort Order on any of my computers.
 
Can I ask Microsoft about this? Do they have an email address for support? Do they have the necessary staff to reply to such questions?
 
They do have email tek support but you have to pay for it. If you are going to go that route you may want to call. If they determine it is a 'bug', which is what it sounds like, then they won't charge you for the support. Good Luck.

Hope this helps.
