I'm having a problem with a VFP report. I've actually seen this first in VFP 6 and now after moving to VFP 8 we still have the same problem. We have a report based on a table with a memo field. The contents of the memo field can get pretty along (3 or 4 paragraphs sometimes). So the field on the report form is set to Stretch. It stretchs just fine. The problem is that the word wrap gets funky with the longer memos. It will start dividing words in the middle of the word or even putting only one or two characters per line. The end result is that what would have been a dozen lines of text ends up being an entire page and is extremely hard to read.

Anyone know how to fix this?

BTW, the memo field's content looks fine when browsing the table or looking at it in the data entry screen.

Thanks,
Don
