When I try to export prepared report to TXT by text(matrix printer) in preview window, FR 3.15 generate following error message:
"Error reading frxTXTExportDialog.DesignSize: Property does not exist."

    IMHO property DesignSize of Forms is in Delphi7 (maybe D6 too) and upper, but not in Delphi5. So maybe you are using DFMs for D7 in D5.

    You are right. In LIBD5 directory is frxExportTXT.dfm that consist DesignSize property, but what can I do with it ? I use install pack for D5. I have found that this is on previous versions too. I think instal pack for D5 is improper.

    If you have source code too, you can resave DFM in Delphi. Or try to delete them manually (if you have DFMs in text form -- but AFAIK FR3 installs with binary form of DFMs).

    I have standard version without sources. DFM is without PAS, and in binary format. I will wait for new version, and hope that Alex correct this bug.

    well, you also can convert dfm by you own:
    convert -t -i a.dfm
    
    ... and after that delete D7 properties manually.
    (convert is Borland utility in $DELPHI_HOME/bin)

    btw. I have v3.14Pro and given export DFM is OK

    Thanks. I'll try it.

    Now I use FR3.15Std. I have not tested all previous version. My friend uses FR3.09Std and have the same problem. So this is on standard version pack. May be that standard pack is badly composed in install generator tool, but this can check only Alex. My another friend uses FR3.15Pro and have the same problem after updated from 3.14 to 3.15. I see this bug was some time ago and back again in FR3.15.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
