Report Information Cut Off at Export to Word

Dee,

I think what is happening is when you export to Word, Access converts the
report to RTF (rich text format). RTF has the text and instructions in it
for the formating. When Access writes to RTF, I think it first converts all
the text to the system font, then adds the formating commands. Word
reformats the text to the commands in RTF. If the system font is larger
than the font you are using in the report, the text may get tuncated by the
width of the control. You need to enlarge the width of the controls to
eliminate the truncation. I have found it is ok to overlap the controls to
handle this.

Hope that helps.

Dear All,

Suddenly (this has never happened before on this report), when I try to
export a report that looks fine in access view to Word, it is cutting off
data in the fields. Instead of "Date" it might say "Da". It is not only
cutting off the data in the fields, but the labels are cut off as well.
Once again, it looks fine on the preview of the report. Does anyone know
what the problem might be?

I would appreciate any help I could get.

Thank you,

Dee

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it doesn't work for this report. The
strange thing is that this report has worked in the past with no problem. I
can't imagine why it is not working now out of the blue???

Please anyone else have any suggestions as to why this could happen? The
reason I had to re-do the report is because my other database objects file
got corrupted and I had to re-build the reports..... and now the lables and
fields are truncated and I have tried several things to fix it and nothing
works. Please help if possible!

Thanks,

Dee
