i'm having trouble Copyfitting with adjusting leading

[mark.arcane]

Hi,

 

I have a text frame which contains 3 lines of text. The top line contains variable data but the two lines below the text doesn't change and so always fits. I've applied copyfitting to the whole frame, so that the top line always fits on one line and the two lines below always match the top line size.

 

I have absolute leading set on the frame but what I would like is that if the text shinks by 25% to fit then the leading reduces by 25% at the same time, but I can't use auto leading because I need it to be tighter than the default.

 

Is it possible to set the leading to adjust according to the type size but still control it's relative height?

 

Thanks,

Mark.

Hi again,

 

Is it possible instead to write a rule which sets the auto-leading value on a named text frame, for example to 100% instead of 120%.

 

Thanks,

Mark.

OK for anyone interested I've found the answer, I can use the magnify tag.

 

I set my text frame to auto-leading and switch on copyfitting, then instead of placing my content field I place this rule:-

 

return "<magnify type=leading factor=85>" + Field("mycontent") + "</magnify>";

 

That gives me leading which adjusts to match the copyfitting but allows me to have tighter (by 85%) leading than the default 120%.
