line spacing

Is there some way to set the space betwee lines in a tekst
field in IM 10.5?

Cor;

    Would that be on a FORM or a REPORT?

Actually it is a computed field in a datawindow.

Kind regards,

    Not directly, however ...

1)    Since this is a CC - you can call a global function that returns a 
"String" data type for the CC's data. If you have PowerBuilder around, 
create a global function that takes a String argument and calculates 
appropriate text line length. At the end of a line, add an extra line feed 
(~r). That will at least "double-space"  the output in effect.
2)     Use a Child DW for the source of the CC. In the child DW, format the 
text from the database and in the Detail Band, stretch the band to give the 
line spacing you require.

If it is a computed column, you can add the extra ~r~n yourself.
But there is no concept of single, double or 1.5 spacing in IM like you have 
in Word for instance.

 True if you only need one CR, however - when you need to compute and insert 
many CR's though-out long textual data, the Global function would be my 
approach.  :-)
