Report Label Control/Monospaced Font

Using VFP's report designer, is there anyway to put a label control on a
report, type in the necessary text, and then stretch it across the page and
have it adjust to be monospaced?
Thanks, Mark

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but you can click on a label
and choose Format | Font to change the font. Choose Format | Text
Alignment | Center to center the text in the label. Choose Format |
Align | Center Horizontally to center the label.

the only way to do what you are asking is to use a mono type font.
i have downloaded a font called monotype free off the internet. it is a
true type font and it will allow for equal space between letters.

Sorry I wasn't clear on what I wanted. I want the label control to go from
the left side of the page to the right side of the page. Now lets say I type
in the alphabet from A to Z in this label. Obviously, this is not enough
text to cause the control to stretch from the left side of the page to the
right side of the page. But that's what I want to do. I want the A to begin
on the left side of the page and the Z to end on the right side of the page
with all the letters in between equally spaced.

I don't think there's any automatic way to do what you want. You're
going to have to write a function to add the extra spaces.
