>Search MS KB for _ASCIIROW _ASCIICOLS problem. You can try to adjust those to achieve a good result. My personal experience with _ASCII clause of report was negative, so I had to create a program of producing text reports.

I don't have my code here, but IIRC, its a matter of using courier new font, and I think either 10 or 12 point (for everything on the report) and then very carefully playing with positioning of items on the report.
