Using Access 97, I have a form and a report. There is text in a memo field on the form. I want the text to appear the same exact way on the report. The problem is that when the text goes to the report, the word wrapping (and spacing) of the text changed. If I were to print the form just from the form, the text appears the same as the report, not as it appears on the screen. I want the screen fonts to be the same as the printer fonts. I tried making the Layoutforprint property set to yes on both the form and report, but this does not change the problem.

The weird thing is that using the font "Lucida Console", the form and report text spacing is identical. However, for my company I have to use the font "Times New Roman." When I use times new roman, the fonts do not line up (the spacing between letters changed between the form and report views causing the words to wrap around at different places with the forms and reports respectively).

The ultimate goal is that I have a report that has a narrative that must continue onto a second page. In order for it to continue onto the second page automatically, I need the print and screen fonts to match. Any help?
