No, I can't replicate the problem in my office. And I just checked, no hidden object. I suspect that the problem is with the customer printer, although I have never seen it myself. And I am going to bring my printer to their office on loan to see if the problem will go away by changing the printer.
Thank you for your suggestion.

>>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.

>>>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.
