This is a common problem with "publishing to Word" (really to RTF)
from Access. There is no 100% reliable fix, or at least none without significant side-effects. It appears that the logic which determines the (effectively fixed) field size in the output document sometimes doesn't take proper account of the character spacing of the font being used, and doesn't leave enough room for all the characters in the output string. If you really want 100% control of your format and editable output, you may need to look into using Word Automation from Access. On Thu, 30 Sep 2004 11:38:08 +0100, "Rog" wrote: Me again!!

The post by TGates in the following link worked for me though I accept it
probably isn't 100%. http://www.mcse.ms/archive153-2004-1-224124.html In case the link is down the relevant bit is as follows: "I've had the same problem with truncation and found that setting the right margin of the text box control to something 0" (maybe .25") will fix it." Though I used 0.30 as 0.25 did not work in my case. So far so good. Also just realised that my defaults are cm not inches as the post seems to infer. Regards. Roger. |

This will work for (relatively) short strings. I believe that it may
be difficult to find the right setting if you are dealing with memo fields with blocks of text of widely varying size in them.

In this context, a few lines of text, rather than tens or hundreds of
lines. On Fri, 1 Oct 2004 22:18:20 +0100, "Rog" wrote: Peter, what is a relatively short string considered to be? "Peter R.
