Cut off Text?

[spongebob]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have a Text Field called "hello". I type some text into it.

On my printlayout I have a Textbox with

<> in it to print the fieldcontents (Plain vanilla up to here...yes). That Box is fully justified so the left and right so the edges look nice incase theres lots of text.

Problem: Sometimes, when I type some text like a phrase with the string R-01122 at the end into the Textfield, the R is cut off on the right hand side from the printout (as well as on the layout one can see it).

This happens when the text R-01122 is on the far right hand side of the text and FM wants to make the break top the next line where the - is. ie when he wants to print

bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla R-

01122

The, the R and the - do NOT show up on the printlyout or the printout.

Its got to do with the hyphen after the R Im sure. If I replace that by any character that doesnt happen. Depending on the phrase that goes before it, the R is either not there, or just half of it (ie it looks like an I).

This only happens in Arial 10. In Arial 11 not. And it cant be a corrupt font, because all my users report this and they all have the same problem.

FM 8.5v2

Its annoying as we have medical texts and often we need the R-blablabla combination.

Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

Can I type a special hyphen to tell him "never to split the line there?"

Any workarounds?

Hello,

Try 2 things - Firstly I would change the printer driver you are using to some very simple HPLJ4 and on the layout adjust the width of the field so that the board is nicely inside the page and then test.

Regards.

Why don't you post a file showing the problem, so we can see if it reproduces on another system. One thing that comes to mind: make sure you have "Use Roman language line breaking" selected in File Options > Text.

Can I type a special hyphen to tell him "never to split the line there?"

There is a non-breaking hyphen character (Unicode 2011). I am not sure how (or if) one can type it, but you could set up an auto-entered correction, substituting a regular hyphen (or another character, e.g. en-dash) with a non-breaking hyphen.
