I have a form listing Part Number and Part Desciption. PartNo is a
small field and description is a wide field. So I wanted my heading to
look like
Part
Number Description
instead of
Part Descriptinn
Number
How I did that was to set the Top to something like .16" for description
(and other fields needing multi-line) and left top as 0 for PartNumber
and that shifted the multi-line to the bottom of the label.
Is there another way to set it up so that they line up on the bottom line? |

Hi Salad,
Part Number will show on two lines because the field is too narrow to
put it on one line. You can also force a new line by using Shift-
Enter.
So, with a Shift-Enter before Description, this text will appear on
the second line.

I use two labels for Part Number; one on top of the other. Then one label
for Description lined up with the Number label. The two labels for Part
Number can overlap a little to make the two words closer together.

Yes. That would work...mostly. I typically use, for 2 words, something
like Part<ctrl+enter>Number to go multi-line. But doing a
space<ctrl+enter>Description doesn't work. And I wanted each label to
be "boxed" so I'm not sure your method would work completely. |

Neat to know. I was in the property sheet but it didn't the "single
line" while it it. For example, if in the property sheet and I put the
cursor between Part and Number and hit shift-enter or Ctrl-enter, it'd
split to 2 rows. If I put the insertion point before Part and did a
shift or ctrl-enter, it wouldn't split until I moved off that line. Bit
if I did it in the label, it worked immediately. |
