VB and Access

[MikeSaunders]

I have a problem which though little, is quite serious and is driving me batty trying to figure it out. It appears to be a bug, but so far I have not been able to find a workaround or anything of the sort.
I’m using an Access Report to output to RTF customized form letters based on a table source. The problem is that there seems to be some kind of discrepancy in the RTF output in that something which appears fine in the Report margins while viewing it in Access, doesn’t seem to fit in the actual RTF output. This wouldn’t be nearly as big of a problem if these words would wrap to the next line (I have CanGrow and CanShrink enabled) but instead these remaining words are simply truncated! The ironic thing is that when examining the output file there is ample room for this text, but it just isn’t there.
I can get around this problem with labels, by extending and overlapping, since I know what the text there is and it’s a fixed width. However, it’s completely unpredictable with textboxes which get their records from a content-varying table.
I’ve tried everything I can think of; changing margins, paper-size, default printer, extending and restricting the text box, etc. but all to no avail.
Has anyone experienced something similar and is there a workaround or patch available for this problem? Please inform.

Once I had a similar matter. In that case, it was printer device not supporting all fonts of win95. I switched to supported fonts (it was "Courier 10 pts") and all went good.
Hope this help
