Printing problem

I just had unexpected results printing a form and wonder how I might be
able to pinpoint what the problem is and how I can fix it.

It's a simple form with just a label inside containing instructions for
the user.
To line up the lines properly I added a bunch of Ctrl line feeds.

Maybe that's what's causing the problem.
The printout cut off the last paragraph but strangely kept the buttons
which are below the paragraph.
In addtion, all of the formatting I did to line up things (with the
Ctrl line feeds) was messed up.

Is there a better way to control my printed output? It's just a few
short paragraphs.

TIA Ric
 
Have you considered creating a report for printing? Forms aren't generally
for printing.

Thanks Duane.
I was looking for a quick and dirty way to get this message across to
some users. But I suppose I may have to make a report to get better
control.
Can I make a report quickly and not have it based on any table or
query?
Just a text box?

TIA Ric
 
You normally want some data from a table to appear in your report. I can't
quite imagine a report not displaying data/records. You can set control
sources to reference the value on a form with a control source like:
=Forms!frmYourForm!txtYourTextBox

Thanks Duane. I hadn't visited this Forum for about a week.
