TextHeightWidth.zip is a replacement for the Report object's TextWidth
and TextHeight methods. It is multiline aware and can work in both
Report and Form views. Includes a sample report to show you how to
autosize individual controls with different formatting on the same line
to simulate RTF style text.

I have several text boxes side by side. Each box has its own
attributes. I
would like to have the boxes expand and shrink as necessary. I know
that it
can be done vertically but I see know way to do this horizontally.

Has this question been posted somewhere before? Perhaps someone can
direct
me to a page with examples?

TIA
