How do I justify text properly in a report?
I am collating school reports using Access 2003. In the final Report the text
boxes are all aligned LEFT, but I want to justify the text across the box, so the right & left edges are aligned. However, the only options I seem to have are General, Left, Right, Centre or Distribute. General still gives me a left-alignment. Distribute does the job, but the last line in the box is spread all over as well, rather than aligned left (MS Word does it properly ...). How can I justify the text so it looks right? -- Mervyn W

Stephen Lebans has an ActiveX control that reputedly handles the last line
correctly: http://www.lebans.com/xjustifytext.htm -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

How do I justify text properly in a report?
Thank you for this speedy response - much appreciated!
I tried this control - it seems very good, but unfortunately I wasn't able to use it because it did not allow me to set it "to grow". Because each box in the report varies with size (depending upon how much the teacher has written in the report) this would have left large gaps all over the final printout. Thanks again for your help, though! -- Mervyn W "Allen Browne" wrote: Stephen Lebans has an ActiveX control that reputedly handles the last line correctly: http://www.lebans.com/xjustifytext.htm -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

How do I justify text properly in a report?
Did you try this solution?
http://www.lebans.com/justidirect.htm JustiDirect.zip is a database containing Functions to produce fully justified text within standard TextBox controls on your Reports. Allows a standard Access TextBox, bound to a Memo field to not only produce fully justified text, but use the CanGrow/CanShrink properties as well. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit.

I believe Stephen's expectation was that you'd download the justidirect.zip
sample database from that page. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "JD McLeod" wrote in message news  When i try to open the justdirect.htm file it tells me that i am trying to open a read only file and it won't let me proceed.
