i'm having trouble Change point size of font based on character legnth

[ChrisMondo]

Hi All

 

I have a variable name badge and customer is asking if I can change point size of the names based on the character length supplied in their database file.

 

ex. names containing 1 - 14 characters use 24 point

names containing 15 and above use 20 point

 

I apologize if this is rudimentary in nature, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

Chris

if (Len(Trim(Field("NAME"))) < 15) {

return '<z newsize="24"/>' + Trim(Field("NAME"));

 

} else {

return '<z newsize="20"/>' + Trim(Field("NAME"));

}

 

See page 46 of the Tags reference manual.

 

Another route would be to check out copyfitting and allow text to expand. See page 140 of the User manual for more info.
