Hi Agnes
As I don't have worked with RTF, really don't know the basis of it.
Has I see, the OLE control for reports, doesn't give much help on this,
but have 3 options, Clip, Stretch fill the frame, Stretch (don't remember), try playing with this properties, maybe this help.

> APPEND GENERAL oFoot DATA pcFooter_0 CLASS "richtext.richtextctrl. 1"

In the part: CLASS "richtext.richtextctrl. 1" not have to be CLASS "richtext.richtextctrl,1" or try removing the 1 (one), this happen equals to graphs, if you ommit the number (I think is the version number), VFP take the current installed class

Try to make smaller the control and let it stretch.

>What can I do to give the oleobject the right dimensions?
Sorry, I really don't know, other option is: try the Word automation or Crystal reports.
