Tips & Tricks - Data Wrapping onto Next Line
Do you have a report where the information to be output is wider than the available space? The simplest solution would be to create another dictionary word with a Max / Length large enough to accomodate the data.

But, if that's not possible, here's a simple solution to improve the appearance of the data on your report.

Create a new dictionary word using a T justification. The data will still wrap if the maximum length is smaller than the length of
the actual data, but words will no longer be split when the data appears on the next line.
