Thanks Lisa,

That makes sense, and I don't think I would ever set anything but single space in a "REPORT", in this case somehow, all the report elements were set to double space and when I changed multiple simple elements

Datafld
Datafld
DataFld
Datafld

to a compound element

Datafld;Datafld;Datafld;Datafld)

The element was extending beyond the desired limit. At first I thought that I could rememdy the problem by simply changing the vertical spacing to Single, but alas, it was not available. Hence, I hacked the report and fixed it through the backdoor. But because the field was originally set at Double space, I could not help but wonder what was up.

Thanks

Glenn



Single, 1.5, and Double spacing (on the text alignment menu) works only for Labels. They will be greyed out if you try it on an Expression.
