  We are migrating from rdlc to AR17. We have a field that is formatted with spaces in such a way that when placed in a text box on a web page or in a report, the components of the text line up nicely when the line wraps. In an AR rdlx, when the line wraps in both the regular and formatted textboxes, the spaces are removed and the line is flush left. Is there a setting to preserve the spaces when wrapping?

  Turns out word wrap eating the spaces wasn’t it at all. I misread the expression on the field and when I read it correctly, realized the constant used for a new line was not correct for AR. When the correct newline was substituted (vbLF) I got the formatting back.
