O$ - Report Positioning Section - Long Text Field

Wed May 28 21:03:33 EDT 2008

Thanks Grant,

I wish that was an option for me.  But this field collects notes and patient
take home instructions that print at the end of an invoice.  In many cases
they can be three and four pages long.  If I was to make the font small
enough to fit on a page you would never be able to read it.

I hope that support will have a answer for me.  It has been very
frustrating.

Mike

I "resolved" this by testing the length of the field, then changing  
the font size on the fly to keep it on a single page.  Fortunately,  
very few of my fields like this extend much beyond a single page, so  
the font size change is acceptable.
