Line spacing in reports
Hi,
when building lists with reports, I would like to change the line spacing, i.e. make it smaller than the minimum default.. A2k doesn't seem to let me do this. Is there a way make the line spacing smaller? Wulff |

The only way I can thing of to adjust the line spacing (I assume you mean
the space between each record in the detail section) is to adjust the "white space" above and below the controls in the detail section. To do this, move the controls closer to the top of the detail section then drag the bar at the bottom of the detail section upward. You can't drag the bar over the controls, just up to it, so if there is a control that you have shrunk down to where it is not visible to you, it may block the bar from moving and you may not be able to see why. Also, make sure the controls aren't taller than you need to fit the text that is in them. Be careful with this though because each video card is slightly different. If you get the boxes too tight, although they may work on your computer, they may not on another computer. -- Wayne Morgan MS Access MVP "Wulf Wendelstein" wrote in message ...

Wayne,
The only way I can thing of to adjust the line spacing (I assume you mean the space between each record in the detail section) is to adjust the "white space" above and below the controls in the detail section. Also, make sure the controls aren't taller than you need to fit the text that is in them. Thanks. But this is what I usually do. Problem is, there ist still a lot of space between the lines of text, which on small labels sums up to a huge amount of wasted space. Most of this waste results of the fact that the space within the controls between the top of an uppercase letter and the upper rim of the control is much bigger than needed, especially with text sizes below 8 pt. Reducing the height of the control manually has only one effect: It starts cutiing off the text line from bottom up instead of keeping it symmetrically centered. So it seems to be not possible to reduce line spacing below the amount given by the control height showing all of the text line and a section height identical with the control ...? |

Going from your description, without finding a different textbox control
somewhere, I think you've hit the limit. -- Wayne Morgan MS Access MVP "Wulf Wendelstein" wrote in message ...

Another option Wayne would be to use the Print method of the Report
object to render the text programmatically. In this fashion the OP would not be subject to any minimum margin props of the standard TextBox control. There's code on my site in the Report's section demonstrating the use of the Print method. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit.
