Steve,
I did have a
typo, now bolded "than other
candidates with shorter names"
"Timothy T. Montgomery" automatically
becomes
Timothy T.
Montgomery
taking up two lines. However Jim Lee
becomes
Jim Lee
Using one line and with a smaller candidate block than Timothy
T. Montgomery.
If I use the enter key to put 'Lee" on the second line, the
real estate is the same as the larger name.
The Summary screen shows
Timothy T. Montgomery
Jim
Justice of the Supreme Court - Gerald Tillman
County Treasurer - Louis Newman
Supervisor - Tony Knight
Councilman - Nancy Barton
Trustee - Dennis Zeldin, Richard Schmitt, John G.
Bryant
Hope this helps
Greg

Greg,
Could you translate this?
"The candidate blocks were larger when the candidates last
name moved (truncated) to the second line than other can with shorter names
whose second name did not move to the second line."

Two long races in one database made the use of 4 columns
necessary. Vote for 6 with 24 candidates and the other vote for 9 and
36 candidates.
The candidate blocks were larger when the candidates last
name moved (truncated) to the second line than other can with shorter names
whose second name did not move to the second line.
To make the candidate blocks the same size I manually
moved their second name in the RTF under Candidate in the Race
Editor.
Now all the candidates have the same spacing.
However in the Summary, only the first name of the manually changed
candidate appears. The other candidates names that wrapped to the
second line automatically showed both the first name and the
last.
