Bob,
Thanks for this. I'd missed the Line Spacing property, but have just experimented with it following your post. It does adjust the line spacing - I can increase the gap between lines by raising the value above 0. Unfortunately, though, the value can't be less than 0, so I can't make the lines closer together.
Just thinking about it, I wonder, if I were to use a monospaced font like Courier New, if I could work out how many characters fit across the width of the space I have, and then use some code to take that many characters from the start of my memo field and put them in a single line text box. I could then have a second text box to take the rest of the text, and position them closer together than the lines would be in a single text box...
It's late, and I'm tired, now, but perhaps I'll give that some more thought tomorrow - any ideas how I could get Access to take only the first X characters from the field and then only chracters from X+1 to the end of the second box?
Thanks,
Gary
PS: The other problem is that this may place the line-break in the middle of a word, so I'd need the code to find the space immediately preceding X characters... perhaps it's not a workable solution afterall?
