TextSize, TextFont, etc text formatting function, behave abnormal.

Hi folks,

Today I face something weird in my layout.

I have a calculation field called "Disp | Full Addr". The calculation is:

TextSize ( "Address:"; 10)   & ¶ & 
_Company Addresses::Address  & ¶ & 
_Company Addresses::City     & ¶ & 
_Company Addresses::Province & ¶ & 
_Company Addresses::Country  & ¶ & ¶ &  
TextSize ( "Phone:"; 10)  & $$Tab & ": "     & _Company Addresses::Phones & ¶ & 
TextSize ( "Email:"; 10)   & $$Tab & ": "     & Email

In my other solution before, the calculation goes normally. But, in this newly layout, I found that the result on Browse mode is not as desired.

I use 'Edit Box' as object with properties are:

• Font : "Helvetica
• Font size: 12 pt

When in  browse mode, all the text value displayed in 10 pt. size, not multi size as I want in calculation formula above.

Weird, when I enter focus on this object , it show as desired, with various font size ( 10pt. for certain block and rest in 12pt. as defined in property panel).

 

Do you guys, know what happen, and how to solve this problem?

Why don't you post a file that shows the problem - preferably a new file that shows only the problem. I don't think it's possible to determine the cause by looking at screenshots (which for some reason you decided to make extra difficult for us).

BTW, a simpler way to construct such display would be to use merge fields. But that doesn't mean that your method should not work.
