Solved Vertical Spacing in a textbox

[freuzo]

Hello everyone,
I need to increase the line spacing in one the textbox in my report.
I've already increase the font size but the line between text are still too small.

It would be great if someone can give me a workaround. I'm on it for few hours now and haven't found anyting on this.

Have you tried changing the line spacing for the textbox in the property sheet? Default =0cm

 

[freuzo]

Yes and nothing changed probable because of the rich text property (some part need to be in bold)

does this mean that your field has a long text type in RTF format

Yes !

Yes !

See figure - 2 ENTER and small font size

There is a very limited set of valid HTM codes available

You can adjust paragraph spacing if you edit the formatting code. This should increase the spacing by 2 x font size

 <p style="line-height:2">
your text here
</p>

Try that but none can increase space between lines

it won't work with the [p] tag, access doesn't have such a tag, with the [div] tag I posted a screenshot for you

 

[freuzo]

you mean those tags

<div><font size=5>&nbsp;<strong>MEMO</strong></font></div>

<div><font size=1>&nbsp;</font></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><font size=3>&nbsp;<em>MEMO MEMO</em></font></div>

I try them one by one without result.
Maybe I don't undestand how you want me to use them.
I just switched MEMO with the actual text of my textbox.

 

[freuzo]

Ah okay, I see. I need to combine them to achive the result in your attached image.
But It won't do what I want because my text isn't separated with head and body.

I'm trying to go from

to something like

access doesn't have such a tag

it does - just not documented - but it only adjusts space between paragraphs, not overall linespacing

without tag

code

with tag

code

So not really a solution for the OP either

when reports with special formatting requirements are needed, they form a report in the WORD document format.

Your suggestion made me try Word automation for the first time and It worked great !
Surprisingly easy to implement.

Thanks !
