I've pulled that trick too. Except I put the memo field into a cursor and then was able to have multiple records (with their own font, etc. It doesn't look like a good solution for this one.

When I look at @...SAY in help, the documentation tells me that @Say is only included for backwards compatibility, so I've kinda excluded using set device to print as an option. That leaves me with text merge and set print on.

Any thoughts on which is the best?
