How Do I Control the Line Spacing in Crystal Reports XI?

A client recently asked me "How do I control the line spacing in text and memo fields in Crystal Reports XI?"

Solution:

To control the line spacing of text and memo data type fields, one uses the paragraph formatting feature within Crystal Reports.

1. Add the text/memo field to the report canvas
   
   
2. Select the required text/memo object
   
   
3. Either :
   • Select Format menu - Format Field, or
   • Right click on the object and select Format Field
     
     
4. In the Format Editor dialog box, click on the Paragraph tab
   
   
5. In the Spacing section:
•  Select Multiple from the Line Spacing drop down
• Enter the required value in the Of text box:
  
  
  
  
6. Press the OK button
