Since I can't get SEARCH to work, I'll have to post this question:

I have a problem with bulleted lists using Word documents with the VFP 6.0 OLE Bound Control. If a bulleted list is interrupted by a new page, the printout using the Bound Control restarts the list numbering back at 1 on the next page.

For example, 1, 2, and 3 are on Page 1, but 4, 5, and 6 are on Page 2.

When the report form prints page 2, the 4, 5, and 6 are numbered 1, 2, and 3, even though the page before has the 1, 2, and 3 numbers. When you go back and look at the Word document, it is still correct. It is only the OLE Bound Control that handles it wrong.

I have to find a way to continue the bulleted list with the correct continuation on the next page, since these printed pages are used during flight testing of airplanes. We cannot have the pilots communicating with the tower about "Number 1 says....." when no one knows whether it is the first Number 1 or the second Number 1.

Right now, I am searching the Internet for any Active X controls that I can test to see if they might handle this problem correctly, but if I find one, it is going to have to work with the Report Form as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?
