John,

[Quoted] Thank you for your response. Unfortunatetly, I missed an entry in my original [Quoted] submission. When I set DESTYPE=PREVIEW in my report and ran the report, I had [Quoted] a problem with output (perhaps because of the font remapping). Each line of [Quoted] output from my report was written to its' own page and some of my field label [Quoted] values were resized and overlapped with other field labels upon output. I was [Quoted] unable to find a way around these problems.
