Distribute Text By Richard Rost ![]() ![]() Align Text Evenly in Microsoft Access Forms & Reports In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to use the Distribute Text Alignment property to create evenly spaced text across columns in forms and reports, and address the issue of awkward spacing on the last line. Learn how to utilize non-breaking spaces to improve text alignment. Richard from Cleveland, Utah (a Platinum Member) asks: Hi, I have a long text field where I've set the text alignment to distribute, and it's working well except for the last line. If the last line only has a few words, it appears awkward with a character, followed by many spaces, and then another character. I want to distribute all the text except for the last line. Is this possible? MembersIn the regular extended cut, I will show you how to programmatically turn scroll bars on and off within text boxes, allowing you to see their appearance in reports without switching views. We'll also create buttons to easily insert and remove non-breaking space characters, streamlining the process for users. And we have a special Gold Member extended cut where I'll show you my solution to automatically add these non-breaking spaces with VBA code. Cool stuff.
