    Trouble getting memo field printout exactly the same layout as theform

    My client insists that the printed copy of text entered into a memo
    field have EXACTLY the same layout as it appears on the screen.
    I found I had to eliminate the vertical scroll bar. Then I copied the
    memo field from the form to the report. I verified that the font and
    font size (MS Sans serif 8) were the same. However, the text shows
    differently. On the printed version, more text shows on the line than
    in the form.

    Suggestions?

      Is it possible you have CanGrow set in the report? If so, set that
      property to False.

          property to False.
          But that wouldn't change the layout of text left to right.

                  I copied a field on a form that was a memo to a report and plugged in a
                  bunch of nonsense into the memo field. When the size of the boxes were
                  the same I was able to display more data in the report's memo even tho
                  they were the same size. So I needed to shrink the size of the memo in
                  the report and finally got them to display the same data.

                  So the only thing I can think of is to make the report's memo a tad bid
                  smaller.
