Linespacing problem.

[Unregistered]

I can print a document (RTF format) through MS Word and print the exact same document through the text control, and find that the linespacing between the two is ever so slightly different. While this difference is small enough to be ignorable across 1 page, as documents span multiple pages, the difference becomes quite significant.

Are you aware of any way to get the line spacing to match exactly or is this something I'll just have to live with?

We too would like to find a way. If a driver programmer would create a print driver to duplicated Word's line spacing exactly, that would solve the problem. We could then distribute that driver with our apps for those who needed 100% Word line spacing.

Alternatively, if TX supported leading (line spacing) to the thousanths, we could work it out with that, just putting a option in to format to MS Word metrics. (Did I just give the fine TX engineers something ELSE to incorportate?)

We are noticing a similar problem with the spacing that seems to stem from how TextControl handles the font tags. We are using Version 9.1 and whenever we open an RTF document TextControl inserts 'Arial 12' font tags at the end of each line, regardless of what the font specified in the actual document is. When this occurs it gives the paragraphs (which are in Courier New, 9) the appearance of having almost 1.5 size line spacing.

This is causing a problem because cover sheet documents that used to fit on a single page now span multiple pages when viewed and printed in TextControl. The documents can be saved in TextControl and then opened in another application, such as Word, and they look normal. Apparently Word is ignoring the RTF font tags at the end of each line.

Any help would be appreciated,
Steve
