Reporting Services Text Box Format

I am creating a report with Reporting Services and am using multiple textboxes arranged horizontally with each other. I would like to specify the periods so that the report looks like this:

1234  Robert Jones................... (234) 921-4922  
1235  Jennifer Wilson................ (919) 582-2914

Is it possible to route a textbox with periods, or do I need to expand some code to accomplish the above effect.

I tried to do this and the results looked like this:

1234  Robert Jones...............     (234) 921-4922  
1235  Jennifer Wilson..........       (919) 582-2914

Is something like this possible?

You should have 3 text boxes per line, with padding in the middle and allow the right side to be cropped



Another way is to use a monospaced font and count the number of characters

The answer to this question is:



Set the CanGrow property to false and set the padding property at the top and the margin to 3pt. Depending on the height and width of your text boxes, your mileage may vary.
