Hi I am using Delphi 5 and Report builder ver 7.02
I am using a stretchable memo field - when I add lines to the memo field,
the font size changes.
Can I stop this, I want the font to remain the same.
The memo field is in the detail line of a report.

Article: Why Preview may not Match Printed Output
-----------------------------------------------------

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.
