Can Grow in Report Still Not Showing All Data

I have Access 97, and I have a report with a text box which has the "Can
Grow" set to yes. Regardless, it still doesn't show all the data of the tet
box.

It does grow vertically, but the data still looks like this:

Rather than

Now is the time for
all good men to come
to the aid of their
country

It looks more like

Now is th
all good m
to the aid o
country

Tips?

There is a problem with the font metrics.
That could be the fault of the font, or of the printer driver.

Try a standard font (e.g. Arial or Times New Roman).
If that does not solve the problem, try a different printer driver.

Yes, Larry. Access uses the printer metrics to calculate how the report will
print and show a preview. That's why report can't preview properly on a
computer that has no printers installed.

Actually I think I do have a printer driver installed on that machine, if I
remember correctly.

CanGrow only affects vertical size. If you want your control to grow
*horizontally* you have homework. I feel that has to be done from code,
but I have no pointers for you about font size etc.

Does the text not flow?
