Hi Gary,
I don't cut the text length At the moment when you add Rotated Text using the AddText() Method of my MindsEyeReportEngine ActiveX control to keep it defined within a specified Box. However, that wouldn't be hard to add support for that. I could either modify the current AddText() Method or I may add a new method to specify a Box and do rotated text all in one. I could see how this would be helpful for the rotated text. The next question would be do you want the text to be truncated at the character level or at the word level like the VFP Report Engine does it now. I could truncate it either way.
