PRB: Print Preview Displays Only First Line of Toggle Button
'Article ID: Q96543

Creation Date: 21-MAR-1993

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 preview a form with a toggle button that contains text without any spaces, if the text is longer than the size of the toggle button, characters on the first line of the toggle button are correctly displayed, but the remaining lines are either missing or truncated. This happens when you use a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIISi printer and you have selected either of the following screen fonts: System or Microsoft Sans Serif.

CAUSE

In print preview, the method to display some system fonts on toggle buttons is slightly different than the method used to actually print the buttons.

RESOLUTION

Change the format of the toggle button control text to a printer font or a TrueType font.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Create a form not based on any table or query and name it Test.
 * 2) Add a toggle button control to the form. Do not change the default size of the toggle button.
 * 3) From the View menu, choose Properties.
 * 4) Type the word &quot;Caption&quot; (without the quotation marks) in the Caption property.
 * 5) Switch to Form view. Note that the toggle button correctly wraps the text.
 * 6) From the File menu, choose Print Preview. Note that Print preview truncates the letter &quot;n.&quot; When you print the form, however, the text is printed correctly.
 * }
