Preventing the truncation of text inside an object

Whether the default widths are accepted or the text-based objects are resized, a problem could arise if the text inside the object prints right to the edge of the object frame. While the report may look fine on the machine it was designed on, when the report is printed using another printer driver that measures the font wider, the length of the text grows, but the object frame remains fixed. The resulting text is cut-off or truncated.

To prevent the truncation of text inside an object
  1. Right-click the text object you want to format to bring up the shortcut menu.

    Tip:     Another way to do this is to click the Format button on the Supplementary toolbar.

  2. On the shortcut menu, click Format Text.

    The Format Editor dialog box appears.

  3. On the Common tab, select the Can Grow check box.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.

    The object is then formatted to print on multiple lines. If the text prints wider than the object, the text wraps onto additional lines.
