Hi,
Please help me with this....
I have a doubt while using Crystal Reports in ASP .Net Visual Studio 2008. I am trying to take a report which is actually in the form of a letter where i have kept Name, Address etc.. in data fields and remaining content is predefined. But when i try to export it,the alignment isn't properly justified.

For example if I get a long name in the data field, part of the name will be cut off and it will come in the next line as another part. If the name is "Codeproject", when exporting it comes as "Codepr" in the end of one line and "oject" in the starting of another line.

So can anyone help me with this...I wanna align it properly..

Thanks in advance...

Can't you just make the datafield bigger?

Actually the problem is mainly on Address field. Even though if i keep it bigger,when the Address field exceeds a particular values, it showing like that only. Note: My varchar length should be Max.

Thanks for your reply man...

Are you breaking the address down into like line1, line2, line3 etc and use separate fields for each line?

Naah...I am using only one field for address...

Agree with CHill. Split that address field to multiple items. Using formula, you could format that perfectly. Check this
