Silva

Hi All,

Is there a way, to make the text in a report VERTICAL way.
ex. the discription of an Item, i want to display in a vertical way?

I Hope for any suggestion. Thank you very.

It can't be done easily as standard.

As mentioned, you could have an Integer data item which loops through the x number of characters in your string and displays a letter at a time on each itteration.

Pasting new line characters into a multi line text box sort of works, but it displays the specials characters as well!

For minimal hastle, an image is probably the way to go.

..wait a minute, I can never resist a challenge There is another way to do it...

Create a new label

Set MultiLine property to Yes

Set the width of label so that it is just wide enough to display just over one character - in my test I set it to a width of 230 with the default font of Helvetica 7

Enter you text in the Caption field, folowing each character with a space e.g. M I B U S O

actually the multiline is base in the length of your label.

It does NOT work...i tried to do it and i got the issue I wrote before...
if the width is too much you got
ii
ii

and if the width is too low you got
i
i

but 'm' chars are not displayed...

ebsoft

Just set the font character to "Courier New" so the width of letter "i" is the same of letter "m"!!!

Think i know what you mean... ..you want the text transformed 90° counter clockwise... ..yes you will have to use an image.
