Memo overrun

rbuser

I have a region on my report that holds a TppMemo component. Both the
Region and Memo are set to stretch as the memo grows. Both of these
components are in the summary band and when the memo grows to more than one
page, the memo text is printed outside the Region bounds in the report
viewer. When the report is printed on paper it looks fine, but in the
viewer it is over writing my footer text. Is there anyway to fix this
problem?

Hi David,

Try zooming in further and the screen output should appear to look more
accurate.

-----------------------------------------------------

ReportBuilder uses the Printer device context to perform all calculations
required to generate the report pages. This includes measuring text,
wrapping text, and calculating the vertical page space required by a
stretchable component such as a memo.

Using the Printer device context results in a very high degree of accuracy
when printing to the printer. For report Preview, all page elements must be
scaled back to the screen. A typical printer has a resolution of 600 pixels
per inch (or more). A typical screen has 96 pixels per inch. Thus there is
some loss of fidelity in rendering to the screen.

For multi-line text such as memos, ReportBuilder sometimes shrinks the font
size for the preview so that the rendered text can fit within the required
vertical page space. Even when True Type fonts this is sometimes necessary.
