Overlapping fields using Sage 50 Report Designer
Posted: 12 Feb 2013, 13:55
I am trying to put information in a column on a purchase order, firstly the Web Description then Web Details and then the Stock Code, so my column looks like this:
WEB_DESCRIPTION
WEB_DETAILS
STOCK_CODE
If the content of the Web Description is longer than the field allows, it wraps it onto the next line which is fine, however it still starts the Web Details on the same line so we get an overlap of text which is illegible. The Web Details are normally several lines long, so again we get an overlap, this time with the Stock Code. What we want to happen is if the amount of text that needs to be printed is longer than one line, automatically wrap the text until that fields text has been printed. Then start the next fields text on a new line.
I have Auto Grow and Word Wrap set to True on each of the fields, so I can't understand why this overlapping is happening.
Any help is very much appreciated.
