Pastel Xpress V12

[Isabel Bothma]

Hi, could some-one please help me, in Forms Designer I have designed a new Document. Now I want to make the "Line Item Description Field" bigger than it is, how do I do that because I have tried to do it by enlarging it in the Position tab and the drag way. Or is it not possible with Pastel Xpress V12.

Thanks
Isabel Bothma

Hi Isabel, you need to change the properties of that field to Individual and then change the font and font size.

[F.Viljoen]

That's for Partner, I assume it would be the same in Xpress.

[Isabel Bothma]

Hi, thanks for replying, I can only choose between Main or Title.

[F.Viljoen]

Form designer is a stand alone package, so I can't see why there should be a difference between the designer supplied with Partner or Xpress.
Mine is Pastel Forms Designer 12.0.2
You can e-mail me the file with details how and what you want to modify, and I will have a look if I can help.

Hi Isabel

You need to select a different data field on your form. It doesn't make any difference how wide you make the field if Pastel only allows 12 characters in the field. On your new form, click on the "Line Item Description" field and then delete it; you will then put in a new field in its place. On the right side of the screen there is a list of data fields. Scroll down the list and have a look for the Line Item Description [20]" field. Drag and drop that onto your form and it will now print 20 characters in the description field.

Let me know if you get stuck!

Hi, thank you F.Viljoen and Kerry.P for replying.

I have tried almost everything to change the width of the column, in the forms designer document it do enlarge but when I print the Quote or Invoice from my company it still only print a part of the description and the rest on the next line.

I have read the following in Help : Document lines
You can enter a description of up to 40 characters on the line.

So I do not know if you do get the same.

Here is my document in which I want the Line Item Description to be wider to print in.

[F.Viljoen]

Form

Try this one.
First rename to csdocsp.enz

csdocsp2.zip

[Isabel Bothma]

It still only print 40 characters in a line.

[F.Viljoen]

Does it print now everything on the invoice in one line and not on 2 lines?

If so, what you read about the maximum characters in your post above is all you gonna get!

"I have read the following in Help : Document lines
You can enter a description of up to 40 characters on the line."

[F.Viljoen]

I created a stock item, and the max is 40 characters.
Read up in the help file of forms designer - Document Lines - Remark lines

[Isabel Bothma]

Thanks for all the replies, now I definitely know that I can only use 40 character per row.
