Hello,
I have ran into a problem using text fields.
Because our data is structured the way it is I need to prepare some data beforehand in SQL. The data is a long (or short) string of text that I would like to show on the report. The problem I am having at the moment is that the field does not grow when the text gets too long.
Is there a way for LL to automatically figure out the amount of data it needs to show and scale/enlarge the field?
Hi Andrej,
Text objects should always be created in the maximum size you want, the object shrinks at print time to the required size.
I don’t know your layout so I can only guess, maybe an RTF object that triggers a wrap will help you, you can also activate this in the text object.
If you give a little more context to the layout, I’m sure you can get better tips.
There are a number of text fields above our details table on the report. These text fields contain some different data, but I positioned all of them the same size to make it easier to read in design view.
I have enlarged the problematic field and it now shows all the data.
Thank you for your help.
