Text getting cutoff in a varchar2
I am running Reports 6.0.8.24.0 32 bit on Oracle 9i.
I am having a problem with a large varchar2 field not staying within the layout, on the right hand side of the layout.
The text gets cutoff on the right side. On the preview it all looks ok, but on paper 1 to 4 letters are cutoff.
I have tried 4 different laser printers and an inkjet printer, but all have the same result.
I have played around with fonts and font size with limited success, but still cutting off text.
Is there a best font and font size for a varchar2 field within Oracle reports?
I have played around with the margins with limited success, but still text getting cutoff.
I have tried changing the elasticity settings and layout size, but no change with text getting cutoff.
The varchar2 receives its text from a MS word document. I have a button trigger that opens the MS word document and kicks off a macro in MS word.
The macro in MS word does a select and copy of the needed text. The trigger then closes MS word and paste into the varchar2 field.
The varchar2 is size 4000.
(I wish MS word had a character for soft returns, then this would have been fixed months ago.)
Thank you,
