Data Report problem (export format messed up)

Hello all,
I needs some help here before I pull out all of my hair. I wrote a program in vb6, that use an access db and data reports. The problem is that when I view my reports in the preview, everything is perfect, all formatting is where it should be, but when I export the file (txt or html, tried both) and save it to my computer and open it again, some the formatting is out of wack. Some parts skip over a few spots and some print on the line beneath it. Why is this doing this?
Help anyone.
Thanks,
creggio
