esmith Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 By "shrink to fit" do you mean reduce point size or truncate field value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Korn Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not really. Tables are designed so that cells grow to accommodate their contents, not the other way around. That said, you could use the FusionProTextMeasure object and <magnify> tags in a loop, kind of like the CopyfitLine function, until the text is the size you want. But how do you know the size of the table cell you're targeting in the first place? The other thing to consider would be a Repeatable Component, where you can basically define a reusable fixed-size area into which you can place a text frame, which in turn can have Copyfit enabled.
