100 Char fit into 80 Char width

[Mayukh]

Hi all ,
Need your help.


I am making a Crystal Report which formats like

Date Product Customer Quantity Rate Value

Date = 10 Char
Product = 100 char
Customer = 100 Char
Quantity= Numeric
Rate= Numeric
Value = Numeric

Paper Size (A4) Portrait Mode, Arial Font, Font Size is 12,

First of All, the total width of all the data fields exceed the length of A4 length paper size

Now I would like to get some facility in Crystal Report to accommodate the maximum length of Data Field by reducing the character spacing but not the height of the character in specific font (such as Ariel 12 for us) to fit into the user defined length of data fields at design time.

Exmple :
We like to fit 100 characters into 80 characters length width


We have tried the character spacing Property of Crystal Report but didn’t get the success of the required result.

Urgent ........

The only thing that will accomplish this is to lengthen the 80 characters to 100.

Would you allow AutoGrowth to let CR add lines to the field?

Would AutoGrow actually exceed a specific text length?

[GaryMazzone]

Grow will allow to add lines downward in CR. So you would have 80 chars on line1 and another 20 on line2

Ahhhh....gotcha.

So, this would seem to solve your problem, right Mayukh?

Hi,

Thanks for giving some views on my topic.
But like to tell you that, i will accommodate all
the 100 characters into one field by reducing character spacing.

Although still i am looking for solution.

Thanks in advance
