Memo columns

rbuser

Hi,

Is it possible to print a single memo field in a memo control and show
the contents over more than one column? I've seen the demos that show
this with more than one record, using the page threshold, but this
does not seem to cater for a single field or record and seems to
affect the whole report.

A little background. I have a master detail report that is printed
landscape. One of the fields printed in the header is a memo, and I've
had feedback that the text is too hard to read accross the entire
page. I've had a go at rearranging the layout to have it occupy a
smaller space (and print "longer down the page") but the best fit does
seem to be accross the page in two columns.




Thanks,
Ian

There is no native option to split a memo into multiple columns. One option
is to place another memo component to the right of this memo to serve as a
second column. Then, in the detail's BeforePrint event manually move some
amount of text to the second memo.
