Strange pdf formatting issue

[RicKaufman]

Hi folks,

I am having a strange issue with a pdf report.

A field in my report is putting the last letter of the word on a different line, but only for one word, and only when it's PDF.

The data in the field either equals "BEACON-NHP" or "MBHP".  When I preview the report, this field shows up correctly.  However, when I run the report and it creates the PDF file, this field shows either:

BEACON-NHP

or

MBH

P

with the "P" on a new line.

The field is clearly big enough, as "BEACON-NHP" is longer than "MBHP".

Can anyone tell me why it is doing this and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Rick

The data in the field in question is coming directly from the SQL database.  Here is the data:

Here's some more information.

I set it up so it sets the data to change the last letter each time through. So the data is:

MBHA

MBHB

MBHC

MBHD

etc.

The results are that for most of the letters, it puts the final letter on the next line, but for a few of them it doesn't.  For example, 'L', 'I', and 'J' all show up properly, with al 4 letters on the same line, but most of the rest of the letters put the 4th letter on a new line.  Please see the attached screen shot.

Thanks!
