SAP Crystal Reports - Issue with bold and can grow option

[Fernando_2]

Hi Everyone, 

I have an issue with bold and can grow option. Currently I have a field with a formula on Font\Style formula for Bold the field in some cases, also I have the can grow option checked.

The problem is when bold is applied, can grow is not applied and text applied clipped.

Equally, if I directly put this field bold as default, automatically the width is resized. That I think that is what happens when the formula applies the bold style.

I tried to insert a text field and put inside the field for apply Font\Style formula only to this field in this text box. But occurs the same problem.

Any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance

'Can Grow' allows the object to grow vertically (more lines) -- not horizontally.

One option is to create a formula that combines both objects, and uses HTML syntax to conditionally apply bold to the first part.

But why not simply allocate the bold width by default? That would keep the next column vertically aligned.

Hi Ido, thanks for your input.

Hi Ido, thanks for your input. I tried your solution already, but the behavior is the same. The text appears clipped. This is why I tried to assign bold as default, and I saw that the field automatically resized when I clicked on bold button. Strange behavior.
