Yes, I set the default font to a printer fixed-width font. Help even says that when selecting a fixed-width font, the nearest Windows proportional font will be used (I'm using VFP7 - hmm, maybe I should break out my old copy of FP 2.6 DOS for this.. < g >). In design mode, nothing lines up, but in preview it looks ok. The only problem it's causing is when getting close to the right margin. In design mode you can't add anything because it goes past the right edge of the page width, but when you preview it there's plenty of space left. I'm just hoping that if preview looks ok, it will come out on the printer ok.
