PRB: Form Wizard Labels Placed near Left Margin Grow Down
'Article ID: Q91721

Creation Date: 03-NOV-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you add a new label near the left edge of a form created by using the Single-Column Form Wizard and then enter text in the label, the label appears to grow down instead of out towards the right margin.

CAUSE

The Single-Column Form Wizard sets the default text alignment for a label to right justified. This means that when you enter text in the label, the label stretches to the left rather than to the right. If the label runs into the left edge of the section, the text wraps down to the next line.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs with the AutoForm: Columnar Form Wizard in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Create a form based on any table by using the Single-Column Form Wizard.
 * 2) Open the form in Design view.
 * 3) Create a label near the left side of the form in any section.
 * 4) Enter text in the label. Note that when the label runs into the left edge of the section, the text wraps down to the next line.
 * }
