If you had a 20 char field for example you could format it as word wrap, set a width of 5 characters and it would wrap over 4 lines.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____I^ve tried this but it doesn^t work too well with barcode fonts. I thought there may be another way of doing it.____Thanks____Jeremy

You might want to check whether your field width is set in characters or inches. That would definitely make a difference.____Kathleen__R&R Support

This didn^t seem to make any difference. I got around it by manually setting the line height.____Thanks____Jeremy
