>Hilmar, gracias for the reply. I was afriad that was the only solution (to widen the fields). Unfortunately I can't do it in some reports, as I have to use Arial 7 in order to fit all the fields. I will have to do 2 versions: one for the report writer with nice formating and one with ?, ?? for exporting to ASCII file and for slow matrix printers. I tried frx2any but it resulted too slow.

Well, yes, the main reason many people create text-files is for speed. I don't know frx2any, but I assume it prints using Windows fonts, not sending text to the printer (that is, in text-mode). The same basic problem exists with the report writer.

To make all the fields fit (assuming you use my text-report download, or create your own solution which prints in text-mode), you have several options:

Use 12, 15 or 17 CPI, which is similar to reducing font size.

Use a wide-carriage printer (carro ancho), at least for some report.

Divide the report into two or more pieces, vertically.

Use output to Excel, and show it on screen (my class supports that option, too), or have Excel split the output vertically. (This is a standard option in Excel.) However, once again, you will have the slow printing.

BTW, I speak Spanish too, but I continued the thread in English, since this is a specific request from the UT team (not to change languages within the thread).
