XCLN: Labels Can Be Truncated When Resolution Changes (146261)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q146261 SYMPTOMS
Label fields used in Electronic Forms generated by the Microsoft Exchange
Forms Designer may become truncated when the screen resolution is changed
or a different video driver is used.
CAUSE
The problem is that the font maps differently depending on screen
resolution, font availability, and font type. In addition, different
display devices can have different resolutions (twips per pixel ratios).
These differences can cause form and control sizes and locations to look
different from the way they looked than when they were created. When using
tight label fields text truncation or chopping may occur.
WORKAROUND
The simple resolution is to allow for greater flexibility during the form
design phase.
- Design form under the lowest resolution (640x480) since fonts scale up
better than down.
- Create labels on the form that allow for the text to increase in size
and not exceed the labels set size.
- Choose Windows' standard fonts or fonts that are installed on the
client's workstation(s). TrueType fonts allow for greater flexability
and scalability.
