Word-wrap Format of Memo Fields
When you first insert a memo field in a report, it defaults to left-justified, word-wrap format. While you can change the justification of the field to right or full, it is unlikely that you will change the word-wrap format. (Only if the field is word-wrapped can you be sure to print all the text from the memo field.) As you insert the memo field in your report layout, be aware of the characteristics of this format, as summarized below:
- If you place a word-wrapped memo field in a page header/footer or swap header/footer band, Report Builder wraps the text only until it encounters the end of the area. These areas are fixed length, and any data that does not fit in the area does not print.
- If you place a word-wrapped memo field in any band other than a page header/footer or swapped header/footer, Report Builder wraps the text until the entire contents of the memo field have been printed, causing these areas to vary in length.
For more information on word-wrapping and justification, see Fields." For a definition of swapped headers and footers, see Sorting and Grouping Data."
