    how to "justify" text in text box and/or label?

    is there a way to format a text box to "justify" rather than right, left center distribute...

    Need to "justify" text like in MS word. "Distribute" text doesn't work for this report.

    Thanks,

    John

    You could try this, but it's old.

    Thanks for your help. I checked out the link but I'm leery about whether this is a safe download and how it would affect other areas of my db. since no one else provided input, looks like there is no way to "justify".

    Stephen Lebans site is completely reputable but as already stated its old and he no longer provides support.
    His code is usually excellent, complex to understand but easy to use
    One note of caution -if you have 64-bit Access, his code may need converting.
