Text cut off in report

[Z-Man]

I have a recipe database that makes reports in a 4x6 note card format for
printing purposes. The problem I am having is that when I preview or print
out a note card, the text is getting cutoff (usually 1-3 letters) instead of
wrapping around to the next line. Reducing the width of the text box on the
report helps with some paragraphs, but not others; but either way, it
defeats the purpose of fitting everything on the note card. Any suggestions?

Are you seeing the complete information in the datasheet view of the
report's recordsource? Are you controls set to allow growing?
You might need to update your printer drivers.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I also have a report that prints out a
regular page, and it shows all of the information. It's just the 4x6 format
that doesn't.

Are you controls set to allow growing?

I tried adjusting those settings, but it doesn't seem to matter.

You might need to update your printer drivers.

But wouldn't I still see a print preview that was correct, regardless of
printer drivers?
Thanks for a response.

No, Your printer driver is still being used in the print preview. That is why
you can't preview a report if you have no printer installed,.
