Hi all

I'm mail merging into a table and only have two responses in the data either "new Member" or "Changes to details held on File"

the area on the form is just big enough for "New Member" to fit at 10pt.

Is there a way to get the text to auto fit the box so that "Changes to details held on File" shrinks down or wraps around to fit the box size?

Thanks for any help with this

Regards

Adrian

The short answer is "No." 

Slightly longer answer is "Would you really want to?" given that the second response is going to be quite difficult to read at 5pt or thereabouts:

As an alternative, you could abbreviate the fields:

If you're insistent on 'rubber type', then the only other solution I could envisage would be quite complex, and involve separate columns for the two responses in the source file, with overlaid fields in the Publisher document.

Cheers,
