That is not showing the selected record :(

The problem is that the font size is *IN* the RTF in the BLOB, it's how
it's displayed that is the problem. It would have to be a complex
'calculation' to strip the formatting - unless there is some way of
doing that?
I have told the customer that they will loose RTF altogether and just
have simple text so we can easily create a large font report and a
normal font report. Just have to strip 6 months worth of RTF formatting
from the text :(
