Hi! I searched around the net and these forums for an answer to this question, and haven't found one. Hopefully someone here can help.
In textboxes, when I print (or use print preview) the text in the textboxes is shift downward by about 1mm. It’s bad enough that in report view mode there’s an overly-large band of white space at the top of my text box, but when I go to print preview (a shame the report view doesn’t match the print preview by default, which has led to much “######” in place of data). I want to eliminate this waste of space.
To iterate a little clearer: When I print a report, there’s about 1 full mm between the top of the textbox and the top of my text. Between the bottom of the text and the bottom of the textbox, there is a very thin band of whitespace (approximately 0.1mm or maybe “Hairline”), and I can control the size of this whitespace by changing the height of the textbox. I want to control the whitespace at the top of the textbox as well, because 1mm is a waste of space and I wanna cram things in. Before you say it, even if I shouldn’t cram things in, I want the ability to. The top and bottom margins are, of course, set to zero. So, of course, are the paddings.
I was thinking I could draw custom lines around these textboxes, horizontal lines that are below the top of the textbox, but then I’d run in to another problem: I can’t cause the top of a textbox to be above zero, so I’d then have whitespace appear on the report as though it were between each entry (each entry being the various records displayed).
Any solutions? I know there are extended options for things if you create a VBA module. Just open the object, and go to the properties in the VBA module and you can get extended control; however, I have not searched these options (yet). Any ideas?
