I just double-checked. And no "stretch with overflow" is checked.
The "W.O.#" line is basically one expression as follows:

"Work Order Number" + ltrim(str(mytable.wo_number))

The format of the expression is "center-justify". The field for the expression is very wide so I can't see it not having enough space to print.
And basically the "W.O.#" line is the same on every form, only changing the .wo_number which is always 6 digits.

Thank you for your help.

>Check to see if the WO# is marked with "Stretch with overflow". It's possible that the data is wider than what is defined and it's stretching to a new line. And remember .. spaces count too so if the field is padded with spaces on the end, it will wrap too.
