The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b

To left-justify the _PAGENO field in the FoxPro for MS-DOS or FoxPro for Windows Report Writer, use the following method:

  1. Double-click the _PAGENO field in your report.

  2. In the Expression Builder, delete _PAGENO and type the following expression: 

          PADR(ALLTRIM(STR(_pageno)),10," ")

To left-justify the _PAGENO field in the FoxPro for Windows Report Writer only, use the following method:

  1. Select the field.

  2. From the Object menu, choose Text Alignment.

  3. Choose Left.

NOTE: The number 10 in the above expression is an estimate based upon the size of the _PAGENO field. 10 works for the default size assigned to _PAGENO by the Quick Report option. You may have to adjust this number based upon the actual size of the _PAGENO field.
