DBMemo problem with leading

edited March 2006 in General
Hi

RBuilder 7.04
Delphi 7
WindowsXP

I have a subreport with 2 DBMemo fields on it, where the width is fixed but
will stretch vetically. I have set the leading parameter to 0.02 so that
the text in the memo filed is equally spaced. (Report based in inches)

Building the report to screen works fine, however when saving the report as
an RTF file some of the DBMemo fields displayed the contents of the data
wrongly.
If the memo field stretched to 2 lines then it was displayed correct. If
the data in memo field remained 1 line high, the memo field would shrink
upwards to what i guess is the 0.02 inches from the leading value. Thus the
report is not very readable?

If i save it as a PDF there are no problems with the memo fields.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Cheers
George Tziros

    I recommend contacting the publisher of the RTF export device class that you
    are using.

    Each Device class: Screen, Printer, PDF, RTF etc. is responsible for
    formatting its output.
