If I import a word document into report text box the tabs show little squares.
How do I correct that.
Basically, there are two columns, one for name of test, and second for score.
User needs to be able to edit score column. Test column remains static . I
need to show results of 4 different tests/scores in report.
I made the 4 tests into tables then created form for each test which is
included as subform in master form. I then created report for each and
included those in master report. All works fine, except if more than two
tests are selected, then formatting becomes a problem. I believe forms and
reports cannot be shrunk, so not sure how to overcome that obstacle.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
I suspect that it has something to do with how you deliminate the lines in
Word. IIRC, Word allows you to do have Soft Breaks or Hard Breaks at the end
of lines. A soft break is accomplishing by holding down the shift key when
hitting the Enter key, and is a Chr(11) in the text, while a hard break is
Chr(13) & Chr(10).

Access needs hard breaks at the end of each line.

If you can determine what the Ascii representation of the squares are (as I
said, they might be 11, or 10), you can use the Replace function to correct
them.
