RTF and Waler

edited May 2004 in Devices
Hi I'm looking to maybe buy a license to Waler but I can't get my report to
render correctly in RTF.

I need to have text fields and memo fields on the same line of the details,
but the Memo field always gets pushed down in the RTF. The memo has the
same height and top values as the text field.


Is this a known bug?

    RTF is not pixel based like other file formats so it can be problematic at times.
    Try to set the UseTextBox property to true to align the memo. This will render
    the memo correctly but make editing the file more difficult.

    The UseTextBox property was on by default and it didn't change anything.

    The text in Word doesn't seem to be in text boxes though...

    Send the report to support@waler.com as an RB "print to archive file" and I will
    take a look at it.
