Right - if the point is to reduce the textSize of the lines until it fits the height of the field, you can do this: put the formattedHeight of fld 1 into tFormattedHt put the number of lines of fld 1 * the textHeight of fld 1 into tCurrHt repeat until tCurrHt <= tFormattedHt if the textSize of fld 1 = 6 then exit repeat -- don't want to get TOO small set the textSize of fld 1 to ((the textSize of fld 1)-1) put the number of lines of fld 1 * the textHeight of fld 1 into tCurrHt end repeat Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
