In ActiveReports Developer, in order to make your report output clearly visible during export or printing you can set character and line spacing. In order to use line spacing you must first set the MultiLine property for the control to True.

The CharacterSpacing and LineSpacing properties are available in the following controls for this purpose:

Page Report

• TextBox

Section Report

• TextBox
• Label

To set line or character spacing

1. On the design surface, click the control to display it in the Properties Window.
2. In the Properties window, click the Property Dialog command at the bottom to open the control dialog.
3. In the TextBox dialog, go to the Format page and set the Line Spacing or Character Spacing values in points.

Line and character spacing is supported when you preview a report in the Viewer, print a report or export a section report in HTML , PDF and TIFF formats.

In page reports, it is also supported while rendering a report through rendering extensions in Word, HTML, PDF and Image formats. See Rendering for further information on rendering extensions.
