Copyfit multiple text frames with the same values


Recommended Posts

I have 5 text frames on a postcard. If one or more of the frames applies a "default" copyfit to fit the text,  I need all the frames to apply copyfit to the smallest text size. What is the best way to accomplish this?

For example, if frame1 copyfits the textsize down to 10pt, and frame2 copyfits the textsize down to 8pt, and frame 3, 4 and 5 apply no copyfit, leaving the textsize at the original 12pt, I need all 5 frames to be 8pt.

Should I chain all the frames together and try for force a "start paragraph at top of next frame" (can you help me recall how to do this?)

Or is there a better way?

Attached a screen shot for context.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Your assistance is truly appreciated.

Yes, you can chain the frames together., then make a rule like so:

return "<p verticalstart=topofcolumn>";

And insert it where you want the content to break to the next connected text frame.

You may need to add the br=false attribute if you already have extra line breaks.
