John,

Send a message to Robert Abram. He's the local fellow who wrote Fox Power Printe and I seem to recall he and I have talked about this very issue as it relates to what he's done with his product. I don't know why I didn't mention this earlier..

Best,

DD

>Word does everything in points. Near as I can figure, 750 points more or less is standard form size for the selected Normal font. My problem is a three variable problem: The length of the data vs. the length of the textbox in the report vs. the dimensions of the Textbox Shape in Word.

>>>Anyone know a good algorithm for converting the length of text to Word points? There has to be a better way than the torturous logic I am using now.
Best,
