>I looked at the char codes in the text file generated by the report. It actually puts 2 CR/LF s between every detail line. I can write a small program to remove the extra CR/LFs but in some cases I would not know if they are actually needed there? Is there any way to tell VFP not to produce 2 CR/LFs between each line.

My guess is that you need to rework the detail section of your report so that the height of each detail line is exactly one 10 point character in height - I don't use the report writer when I know I want ASCII output...

If you do, I'd also rework the report so that the fonts used are all monospaced fonts (like Courier 10); it'll make alignment easier to visualize.
