Last reviewed: October 27, 1994

Article ID: Q44556

Summary:

When a font size for a field in Microsoft File is set so the text will expand beyond its border in the Form, the text in the field is truncated in the data file.

To correct this problem, do one of the following:

Method 1
Decrease the font size, as follows:


 * 1) Select the field in the Form.
 * 2) From the Form menu, choose Font and choose a smaller font size.

Method 2
Expand the field in the form, as follows:


 * 1) Point to the bottom line of the fields until the cursor changes to an up-and-down arrow.
 * 2) Dragging down until the text is no longer truncated in the data file.
