simple question... How can i manipulate the width and height of a label or text using Printer commands.
Answer
you cant change the lable using printer commands. the printer.print etc are used to print after the display is final.
but you can change the fontsize, label height,width just before printing
i wonder why would you want to do this. are you using printform?

thanks for the immediate reply. i really appreciate it.
by the way, YES i'm using printform. but the problem: printform is dependent of Monitor Resolution. i'm using 1024x768 resolution and i can't get a whole page printing.
senario: i'm creating a simple program that can manipulate(drag, insert controls) on runtime and can print. i'm having problems on printing coz i cant occupy the whole page of a short bond paper when i'm using 1024x768 reso. help me
ANSWER: better switch over to printer.print commands. it does everything and you can position the data on the paper.
the printform is better avoided if size and resolution come in the way.

I tried the printer commands and it works great.. but the slight problem is that... on my design form i have a label with properties "WORD WRAP" and i want the output same as my design. you said that "i can change the fontsize, label height,width just before printing" using printer commands. i want to know the manipulation of height and width of a label on printer commands.
Answer in print command the label does not exist. you can change the fontsize just before and after this particular data. in print, you cannot print a label and its contents. the other option is exprot to word and you can make a template there with a label that would do exactly what you want.
