Copy fitting styles make sure the same copy fitting percentages are applied to all selected text frames. For example, if a user customizes a business card and enters a long address, applying a copy fitting style can make sure the font size of the e-mail address, company URL, and other data use the same font size. Applying the same copy fitting style to the selected text frames ensures the use of consistent font sizes throughout the document.
You create the Copy Fitting Style in this panel and then apply the style to selected text frames in
Step 2: Assign Variables Panel.
1 Go to the Copy Fitting Styles pane in the Forms tab.
2 Click the Add button (plus icon) to add a style to the list.
3 Click the Edit button (pencil icon) next to the style in the list or open the Copy Fitting Style Settings pane to rename the style and specify its settings:
•Affected frames behave as a group: When selected, text frames with the same style behave as a group. This allows you to quickly make changes to the font size in multiple frames.
•Minimum/Maximum: Sets lower and upper font size limits after copyfitting is applied. If, for example, 'between 75% and 100%' is used, this means the font size can never become bigger than it is right now but if the text does not fit the available space, the font size can automatically be reduced by up to 25%. If 'between 75% and 150%' is used, this means the font size may become up to 50% larger if the available text does not completely fill the available frame.
•Max. Lines: Sets a maximum number of lines after copyfitting is applied.
•Only when there is overflow: Copyfitting is only applied when there is too much text for the text frame.
For example: if copyfitting is selected with Max. Lines set to 3, copyfitting is no longer applied when the text exceeds 3 lines.
