This one has me completely stumped, easy to do I'm a rookie.

I have a Group Name that appears perfectly in the Group Header. However, randomly the Group Name cuts off 2 characters when displayed in the Group Footer.

In a 93 page report, I have 18 instances where the Group Name displays correctly in the Group Footer, and 75 instances where the Group Name appears in the Group Footer less the last 2 characters.

Please advise!

Have you made the text box for the Group Name large enough for the longest name?  It will not auto expand unless you tell it to (and only does vertically).

Yes its definitely long enough. And also as I noted, on some pages the Group Name displays fine, on other pages it cuts off 2 characters...There is no object in the way, no setting that is delimiting chars, really feel its a glitch and hope someone may have experienced something similar.

EDIT: Thanks for your response!

I have seen this when my fields are too far over the vertical guideline for printing.

Thanks so much for your reply.

Unfortunately that is not the case here, this field is aligned with the left side of the page, and the characters that get truncated are towards the middle...I'm stumped!
