dot matrix condensed problem
i'm using v 3.03 & epson lx-850
i have few bands on report
on detail band and it's header i have to use condensed cause i have lots of columns, and need everything to fit in
i'm using epson esc commands
on preview everything looks fine, but when it's printed, on the detail band & header there are condensed fonts but whole band is "half-sized", and i can't stretch it's width anymore because it's same as Page PaperWidth minus margins
question one: is it possbile to combine bands with condensed & normal fonts and have the same PageWidth property on Page?
ok, so i've changed PageWidth from 81 to 137, and now i can stretch controls on bands to have good size. but...on detail and it's header i have exactly same controls, with same left, width, fonts, etc,. properties, except that on detail there are db data, and header is used for labels. On preview again everything looks fine but on report...header is printed fine, but detail is in total chaos. For example label 'Price' on header has left property 70 and width property 9. Corresponding dbfield on detail has exactly same properties (left 70 width 9), and should be printed exactly below it's label, but it's printed few centimeters left. And so is with other columns. And there is no some law, rule to which they are printed, or at least i can't find it.
question two: HELP!!
