I originally tried using LEFT, but then realized it was only going to work with a non-proportional font. The problem I'm having is this report is actually a label, and I don't have any room to make the field any larger. I guess it looks like my only option is to switch to a non-proportional font. Either that, or figure out how to calculate how many characters would actually able to fit in that space, then use LEFT. But, for some odd reason, I don't think that's going to happen ;)
