This report prints a mailing address and the letter is then stuffed into a windowed envelope. Going landscape is not an option.

>I have a report which contains a reportfield that is appropximately 200 pixels in length and there is no room to make it any wider. My client wants to fit in four fields, subdivsn c(25), phase_unit c(4), block c(4), and lot c(8) in that order. Well of course if all the characters are non-blank, they will not all fit. But if it can not all fit they want the full lot, block, and phase_unit and trim the subdivsn.
