Fully Justified Text

[hughess7]

Hi all

I would like my text in a report to be fully justified. I have read that I
need to use one of Stephen Lebans solutions eg JustiDirect. My text is
currently all displayed in labels rather than text controls, do I need to
create a table with Memo fields for the report instead to be able to fully
justify the text?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried setting the Text Align property for each label, to
"Distribute"?

Yes but for some reason it does some of the lines perfectly and then others
spaced completely wrong, eg the word appropriate looks like a p p r o
p r i a t e

Thanks

Tried using Stephen Leban's JustiDirect example, created two unbound text
boxes on my report and used a dlookup to a table to return the required text
from two memo fields. Although in the report it did justify my text it looks
funny and isn't readable? It is kind of shadowed, as though it has the text
twice not quite aligned on top of each other. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you look at the sample Report and examine how the TextBox control props
are setup?
For the TextBox control used to display the fully justified text, its
Forecolor prop must be set to WHITE.

Thanks, did look at props but didn't spot that - doh! Got round it in the end
by shrinking the text box in design to be a line only and let can grow prop
expand it.

Thanks again for this - love your site, very helpful!!
