To fix it, simply add texts together:

r << "[s0;C+92 " + DeQtf("Round 1") + " ]";

(Note that adding here is possible becase DeQtf returns String).

Thanks to your help now everything works as I wanted.
I think this way to print (knowing it) is superior to that to send directly the file to the printer. In fact the font size can be selected and the text can be rescaled and reoriented before to send it to the printer. This is of course more flexible. For this reason I've added a size font selector that rescale the image file when necessary.
Now I need few information to permit me to organize a good pagination. Report has too much option and I'm a bit lost.
I run the following commands regarding the dimension and I've obtained the following results:

1)	sz = r.GetSize();    //  3968 x 6074  => aspect ratio = 0.652)
2)	sz = r.GetPageMMs(); //  320 x 240 => aspect ratio = 0.75
3)	sz = r.GetPagePixels(); // 1024 x 768 => aspect ratio = 0.75

I guess GetPageMMs() returns the dimensions in millimeters.
Now 2) and 3) returns dimensions that produce the same aspect ratio. So I wonder what GetSize() returns to give a different aspect ratio.

In the row

    r << "[s0;C+92 " + DeQtf("=====================================") + " ]" ;

which are the unit of the font height indicated by '92'?

Last question. If I send my code example to the printer (actually a pdfdriver) I obtain the following attached picture.
In it you can see an offset both for vertical and horizontal in the top left page. But If I preview it with Perform(r) the offset is absent on the screen! So, is it present some offset or the pdfprinter do some bad joke?

Thank you.

Luigi

PS: I guess these information, knowing the the number of lines of the file (maybe even the longest row of the file), should be enough to produce an acceptable pagination. If I need some other parameter please let me know it.
