Hi
I am currently using Crystal Reports 11.5 and have come across an issue with exporting. 

If you generate and format your report as required.  It will appear correct in the Crystal viewer, and if you export the report as any format other than text it will export correctly.
However if you export it as a text, all the fields will be truncated.  The only work around on this is to make the field boxes substantially bigger and in doing so all formatting on the report will be incorrect within the Crystal viewer and all other formats.  Even if you overlap field boxes when you know the value will never be that populate to that length it will in turn truncate the following field as a consequence.

Has anyone ever come across this and if so what is the work around to get the text to export correctly without making the field boxes larger.

Thanks
Harvey

A similar problem here:
While doing export to text file for strings longer that 160 characters first 160 characters are displayed correctly, then a few characters are truncated and the rest of characters are display on the next line.

Any helping suggestions on how to resolve this issue are welcome :)
Thanks.
