Hello everyone,
 
I have a subreport that I'm trying to edit.  I'm trying to add a text box, but whenever I add the text it appears jumbled to the left of the box.  I've tried centering the text and right justifying the text, but the text is still jumbled.  Can anyone help me?
 
Thank you in advance.

Can you confirm little more like Are you trying to add text object right?
have you tried right align and center as well, what was the result?

Hello,
 
Thank you for replying.  I have a subreport with a graph.  I need to add a text box, but the text is bunched together.  It's like all the text is on top of each other.  I'm wondering if this is because I'm trying to add the text box on the graph, but I'm not sure.  I've tried centering and right justifying the text box, but the text is still appearing jumbled. 
 
Thank you in advance.

I get this too and i think it has to do with printer drivers.

I have found that if I go to File and Page Set Up then mark 'No Printer (optimize for screen display)' as TRUE it 'corrects' the problem.

Thank you for your replies.  I found that it corrected itself.  I think that I just had to restart Crystal Reports.

FYI - my experience is that opening and closing crystal will temporarily correct the problem but it will continue to happen. If I change the page set up to 'no printer' it consistently resolves it without closing and opening crystal.

Thank you DBlank.
I found switching to "No Printer" corrected it and then I selected my printer again.
Weird bug, this would have driven me crazy if I didn't see your solution.
