Uneven text-alignement

Hello,

I have a report based on a form with the text-box controls on both being
indentical. The controls on both the report and the form have the same table
as their control source. My problem is that when I update or other wise
change the text-box controls on the form the text doesn't appear on the
report in the same order. As an example, if on the form or in the table I
type:
1.Ministry of External Relations
2.Ministry of Defence

then on the report it appears as:

1.Ministry of External
Relations
2. Ministry of
Defence.

Thus far I've been unable to get the text to appear in the same
text-alignement on both the form and the report. I have the 'can grow' & 'can
shrink' properties for the text box controls on the reprt set to 'yes'. I
have also tried setting the Format properties 'height', 'width' and 'top' for
the text box controls on both the form and the report to indentical values
but with no effect.
I hope my explanation of my problem is clear enough....would anyone know how
I could get the text to appear with the same text-alignement on both the form
and the report?

Thanks in advance.
 
Are you typing
1.Ministry of External Relations 2.Ministry of Defence
ALL into one textbox and using spaces to make
2.Ministry of Defence
appear on a second line?

If so, instead of using spaces to get the second line try typing Control +
return(enter) to embed a new line sequence into the text box.

1.Ministry of External Relations <<<Control+return>>>2.Ministry of Defence

The next question is why are you putting two (or more) pieces of information
in one field? I suspect that you may really need to have an additional
table to hold this organization information, but without knowing you
structure I really don't know.
