Here is what I found: When specifying the text ( including numbers ), it is very important to specify the WIDTH of the value. With that in place, I can set align to "TR" as you suggested, and everything lines up perfectly. I prefer Calibri as a font because it is easier to read than the ol...

Mr. Rao stated that the value of cAlign in Method oPrn:SayText has to be character type value.

Do not use PAD_LEFT as 7th parameter when using SayText() Use 'nil' and test again. It should work without errors. Please run and let us know Yes, that made the trick. I didn't see that cAlign was meant as character type and didn't know that it's ...

The point we were making is while printing normal multi-line text across pages, we do not need the outdated method of using memoline()s. oPrn:SayText() will automatically help, if you closely observe the code. But right now, this is not possible with RTF text. We understand your issue. As I said ...
