: Reducing the font size horizontally without change the font size vertically

[nextcomputing]

Can anybody please let me know if there is any 3rd party utility for Crystal Report where I can fit 60 characters in a 40 characters Text Box without changing the font size vertically. This means that font will get narrower or compressed and adjust automatically horizontally based upon width size of the Text Box?

I don't think there is any kind of party utility for that. Regardless of the font type or size, 60 characters is 20 more characters than 40, and if the textbox is set to 40, that is all you are going to get.

Why do you need to do this? Can't you just up the character limit to 60?
