truncated field on reports

I have two reports that are displaying truncated text. At the right side of
most lines of text some characters that should display do not. In some cases
only part of a character prints. All usable space is filled with characters
that do display. If there is sufficient text to wrap to the next line it does
wrap, starting with a complete word. Both are text boxes, with the Can Grow
property set at Yes. Their source is a memo field in the underlying table. In
one case there is another field to the right of the affected field. On the
other report the affected field goes to the margin. I have tried narrowing
and widening the field, with no improvement. What is going on, and how can I
fix it?
 
I am having the identical problem. I've tried converting the the memo field
to a string field by using CStr in a query as it seems this problem only
happens when I am displaying a memo field in the report. Oddly, it worked in
two of the reports but not in another which I can't explain. I'm beginning
to suspect the font type as Times New Roman and Ariel did not work, however
Courier did print properly.
 
I have a similar problem when I print certain web pages. i.e. characters on
the right margin are truncated. I have tried doing a print preview and it
also shows the characters truncated, so it doesn't appear to be the printer
driver. I've also sent it to two entirely different printers (a laser and an
injet) with the same results. Changing the margins larger or smaller does
not fix the problem. If I select shrinking the text, it includes more text
