I wonder what happens when Rich Text Notes/Text From Source are included in Reports when scaling is not 100%?
A little experiment suggests that Rich Text is included in Reports using the Font defined in the Options > Format tab.
If the Rich Text font is 1 pt larger than the Rich Text window default then in the Report it is 1 pt larger than the Format tab font.
So scaling has no detrimental effect on including Rich Text in Reports. It only upsets the Rich Text window for tables.
However, I tried a small table with all the defaults, 100% scaling, Tahoma 10 pt, and reduced the column widths so the text just fits. Then in the Report set the Options > Format > Section Data to Tahoma 10 pt. The text in the table does not quite fit!
I had to make all the columns a little wider, or reduce the Report font point to get the text to fit.
