Width of Memo Fields

The width of the memo field determines the horizontal area where Report Builder wraps the text. The maximum width of a memo field is 254 characters.

Follow these steps to indent the memo text on the report:

  1. Choose Properties Format. The Format dialog box appears:
  2. Specify the memo field width in characters or inches.
  3. Move the field into position in the layout; for example, as shown in Figure 14–3.
  4. Figure 14–3: Layout Showing Memo Fields

The layout in Figure 14–3 produces the report shown in Figure 14–4.

This memo is the introductory paragraph and
prints across the page from the left margin
to a width of 45 characters.

           This memo field is shorter and only
           prints within a field width of 35
           characters.
