TITLE : WordWrapping a Field
In order to wordwrap a field in a Paradox report or form, please
follow the ensuing steps:
1. Reformat the field to the maximum size you want the first
line of the wrap to be. For example, if you have a 255
character field and want it to appear as 4 lines on a
report, set the field mask to 64 characters (255/4=64
rounding up). The idea is to display only those
characters that make up the first line of the wrapped
lines.
2. Select <F10> <F>ield <W>ordwrap. Place the cursor on the
field to be wordwrapped when prompted. Pres <ENTER>
3. Enter the number of lines you wish the field to wrap onto.
This would be 4 in the example above.
SOME THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR
o If you are designing a form, make sure there are not
fields or text located in the area under the wrapped line.
In our example, we would make sure the 3 lines under the
placed field are totally blank.
o Wordwrap should not be used side by side with other fields
or text.
o If you want to preserve blank lines in a report
specification below a wordwrapped field, type the keyword
BLANKLINE at the beginning of the line.
