Text object with | Choose to indicate that the text object has set | ||
boundaries | boundaries. This type of text object is the opposite | ||
| of a free form text object. | ||
|
| ||
Expand/Condense | Create text, and then expand and condense text | ||
text | horizontally according to the percentage selected. | ||
| Applicable percentages are | ||
| z | · | 25% |
| z | · | 50% |
| z | · | 75% |
| z | · | 150% |
| z | · | 200% |
| If you select Free form text object or Text object | ||
| with boundaries, the percentage combo box will be | ||
| inactive. | ||
| If you change the expand/condense text option to | ||
| either Free form text object or Text object with | ||
| boundaries, the default type size in the Font tab | ||
| (text properties) will be used. | ||
|
| ||
Auto size font | Available only when a text object with boundaries is | ||
| selected. Choose to tell the application to | ||
| automatically set the point size of the text to fit | ||
| within the text object. The appropriate point size is | ||
| implemented for your text. | ||
| The limiting dimension is determined by the width | ||
| or height of the text. When the text meets either the | ||
| horizontal or vertical boundary, the sizing stops. | ||
| In variable text objects, the text object size will be | ||
| the same for each label generated, but the size of the | ||
| font may vary, depending on the amount of text | ||
| needed to fill the text object. For example, if “fox” | ||
| and “elephant” are items in a text list, “fox” prints | ||
| in a larger font size than “elephant. | ||
| If you change the font size yourself, for instance by | ||
| using the Size option on the Font tab, the system | ||
| disables the Auto size font option. | ||
| Note: This option is disabled for free form text | ||
| objects. | ||
