PRA: Words Split When CanGrow=Yes and KeepTogether=No
'Article ID: Q113301

Creation Date: 31-MAR-1994

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.

The Report Writer splits a text box in the middle of a word instead of between lines.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if all of the following conditions are met:


 * The first line of a multiple-line text box is the last line that will fit on the page.
 * The text box's CanGrow property is set to Yes.
 * The section's CanGrow property is set to Yes.
 * The section's KeepTogether property is set to No.

RESOLUTION

Set the text box's height to two lines and its CanShrink property to Yes. The Report Writer will not split a control into a size smaller than its size in Design view.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. This problem no longer occurs with Microsoft Access for Windows 95, version 7.0.
