Use a formula instead of the field shown in the legend. If this is a group name, you could either conditionally reduce the length of the field, by doing something like this:

If len({table.field})>20 then
Left({table.field, 20) else
{table.field}

Another approach would be to add in a check for spaces/hyphens and use the split function to display only a certain number of array elements or to limit it by length for values that are too long but contain no spaces/hyphens, etc.

You could either use this to replace the groupfield on which the legend is based or you could change the display of the group name in the group options tab.

Of course!! Formula worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
