[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] How Do I Get Reports To Work Right??

martyl@bucket.UUCP (Marty Lee) (06/18/89)

 I have a field that looks like this:

Line One
<Blank Line>
<Blank Line>
Line Two
<Blank Line>
Line Three
(And so on....)

HyperCard using the reports menu item the field prints like:
Line One
Line Two
Line Three
(And so on......)

Why does it do this?  Any suggestions?  Did I miss anything in the HC
manual and Danny Goodmans book?

To get blank lines in a field to print as blank lines in a Report, try putting a space in each blank line, in addition to the return.  I believe this will work.
