What exactly is the problem? If there are extra carriage returns causing the wrapping, then your form is not wide enough. I found that I [Quoted] needed to use the PAGESIZE parameter on my last character cell report, to get it to format properly. If the lines are just getting wrapped, then WordPad is the culprit. I would suggest looking at your file in each stage of this process to determine where the format is getting wrecked. Are the pagebreak characters being lost at some point?

How exactly are you printing from WordPad ... manually or using some kind of script?
