Auto text font size

Is there a way to set a text box so it keeps all the letters within the box at the maximum font size?
for example:
set a box 4x1 inch
type a 4 letter name and from the start of the first letter to the end of the last letter be 4 inches
then type an 8 letter name and from the start of the first letter to the end of the last letter be 4 inches again.
My Dymo label maker software can do this. surely illustrator can too!
if not, is there any scripts / alternatives?
Thanks!!

Jamie,
Sorry, now I believe I understand.
Unless you actually need a box, you may create the text as noermal live Type, then in the Transform palette set the desired W (width) value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to keep proportions.
If you need a box, you may:
1) Create the Type normally;
2) In the Appearance palette flyout click Add New Fill/Stroke, depending on which kind of box you want;
3) Drag the new Fill and/or Stroke down beneath the Characters in the main Appearance palette window and set the desired Color(s) and possible Stroke Weight;
4) Effect>Convert to Shape and tick Rectangle, then set the Relative>Extra Weight/Height as desired (maybe 0), depending on how much you want it larger than the Bounding Box (you may set a positive value for Weight and 0 for Height);
5) In the Transform palette set the desired W (width) value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to keep proportions.

  • Auto Adjust Font Size

    When creating a form with the font size set to auto. The document is uploaded into a proprietary software where data is populated on the form. If you edit any any information on the form the font sized defaults to a very small size. Do anyone know how to remedy this issue?

    Hi CTGCONNECT,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. The best way to get around this is to set the font size as desired rather than Auto E.G. 10 and check the box "Multi Line" under Options in the text box properties
    Thanks,

  • Will Adobe ever fix the UI text font size issues in CS6 apps?

    Having recently installed CS6 on my new Windows computer, I find some serious issues with font sizes in the user interface (and not only in Dreamweaver, but in several--but not all--the applicaitons). You'd think that with a 27-inch screen, font sizes wouldn't be a problem. And you'd be wrong.
    The irony is that some text is properly sized. Commands in the menus. For example. But the menu names are not. The text of items in the File tab is correctly sized, but the name of the File tab is not. In the Manage Sites dialog box, the title bar text is properly sized, but the text within, including button labels, is not. IN almost all of these cases, text is just plain way too small to read. It looks like the programmers made a HUGE boo-boo: they sized text in pixels, not only a no-no in web diesgn, but a no-no in applicaiton design.
    Because on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, UI text in Dreamweaver is all plenty large and readable, while on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440, UI text all over the applicaiton is too tiny to read--and made worse by putting the text on a gray background, reducing contrast, yet another design no-no.
    CC is NOT an option--and properly should not be for any occasional user. Do not even think of suggesting it as a "solution."
    This is clearly a bug (did Adobe do any testing on higher-resolution screens before releaseing CS6?), and one I wonder if it is unique to Windows systems (as Apple has had similarly high-resolutiopn screen for its displays and iMac lines for quite some time now). Or is it uniquely a Windows 8 issue?
    Finally, is there at all a workaround? I can find nothing in the Settings dialog box that would control the size of UI text. Perhaps there is a text-based configuration file that could be modified to change the size of UI text. (Yeah, having configured autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and similar files back in the day, I do know my way around configuration files--if they are still used.)

    What made you think that you should complain to Adobe about Windows display problem?  Adobe and Microsoft are two different companies competing against each other.
    However, you might have display problem and the best way to resolve this is by going to:
    Control Panel >> Display
    Follow the online instructions.
    Please not, you go to control Panel from within the windows itself NOT from DW.
    Hope this gets you started or you can ask in the Windows Forum on Microsoft Website.

    so that the long text can hv same font size n font type togehter with other text in my sapscript form?
    Please advise, Thank you.

    Hi,
    First findout the Paragraph format of the text to wich you need to change font size and font type.
    go to the particular window where the font size and type should be changed.
    go to text elements of that window(F9)
    Then change the editor Goto->Change editor
    In the first column give the paragraph format name.
    Activate.

  • Static Text - Font Size

    I have a requirement for an Add-On form to make the text larger than normal (larger than than all the other forms) as it needs to be read from some distance away.
    it_STATIC items do not have a FontSize attribute, is there another way of overriding the font size for static text items?

    Hi Garry,
    try with
    Form.Items.Item("stZero").FontSize = 20;
    where stZero is the Unique ID of static text.

  • Text font size

    Does anyone know of an app or other way that I can increase the size of the font in text messages?  Thanks in advance if you are the person that knows the answer to this question.

    Will this app allow you to change the font size in all aspects of the phone, like your contacts, and all other things that appear on the screen. I hate having to get reading glasses out every time I need to use the phone.

    It is not possible to print font size less than 6. Script does not accept the font size less than 6. if the font size is less than 6 the script will print in default font size 6.

  • How can increase text/font size iMac late 2012

    I am a new iMac user so forgive my ignorance!  I cannot get the font size on my 21 inch iMAC to increase and am having a hard time reading the screen?  Can anyone tell me the way to do this please?

    But why no font adjustment I wonder?
    Actually, there is.... sort of:  Open a Finder window...Click on the gear button upside down triangle>Show View Options:  This window has settings for icon sizes and font sizes.  The largest font size is 16.  Hint: The larger the icon the larger the fonts.  When done, click the Use as Defaults button.
    Another hint:  System Preferences>General-Turn off text smoothing for font sizes___and smaller.  The number 12 works great for me. 
    My personal setup:  Display=1600x900, Finder (windows) icon size=112x112, text size=16 

  • Web App Designer - Graph - "Data table" text font size

    Hi,
    In the graphs, I am showing the data table by using this piece of code.
    <param name="SHOW_DATATABLE" value="X"/>
    How should I control the font size of the text displayed in data table.
    Thanks

    Oh, my mistake. I thought you were talking about the table. The graph fonts are not maintained in a stylesheet. You have to go to the graph element (double click) and make changes to the fonts there.

  • Convoy 3 texting font size

    I JUST ACTIVATED MY CONVOY 3, AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I ENTER TEXT IN A MESSAGE, THE FONT IS VERY SMALL.
    WHEN I SWITCH BETWEEN  "NORMAL AND LARGE FONT SIZE"  IN THE SETTINGS, THERE IS NO CHANGE.  I NOTICED IN THE REVIEWS ON VERIZONS WEB SITE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME ARE NOT. IS THERE A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THIS PRODUCT?  I DID GET AN UPDATE FROM VERIZON, BUT NO CHANGES WERE MADE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THIS PHONE AS IT IS.

    When you say you ordered the phone before the holidays, do you mean Thanksgiving or Christmas?  If you bought it between Black Friday and Christmas, you should still be able to return or exchange it, i.e.,
    All device and accessory purchases made between 11/28/13 and 12/25/13 may be returned or exchanged through 1/15/14.
    If you purchase a device or accessory from Verizon Wireless between 11/28/13 and 12/25/13 and we offer it at a lower price, we will match the lower price through 1/15/14. Depending on how you purchased your device or accessory, simply contact us as soon as you see the price difference in one of the following ways:
    If you purchased online at VerizonWireless.com and we offer a lower price online, call 800-922-0204.
    If you purchased in our store and the store is now offering a lower price, return to the store.
    If you purchased from us over the phone and we offer a lower advertised price, call 800-922-0204.

  • Save As PDF shrinks text font size unreadable

    Just "upgraded" to Yosemite yesterday and starting to regret ... at least after the latest of today's hiccups.
    Latest trouble: just converted a single page Word document to PDF to share with clients [Print > Save As PDF],
    but discovered in horror that PDF conversion shrunk the font to an unreadable font scale & blurred letter head.
    Same issue when testing PDF conversion in TextEdi
    t.
    The same Word document converted just fine in 10.8.5 yesterday, with no noticeable difference between document original and PDF version.
    Also, older PDF documents still render okay when opened in Preview and/or Acrobat.

    Update: I have run additional tests today, seems like it's a font that is creating the problem:
    I use Merriweather, which suddenly convert to shrunken size in PDF, but if I convert the document font to something more generic, e.g. Courier New, the font size remains accurate in the PDF version.

  • Text font size changed automatically from normal to huge

    What could cause the font size to go from normal to huge?

    Thanks for the note.  I gave up on the Verizon site (there was no place to go to get one of those FAQ answered) and went to Bing and asked the question, hit the return key and found the answer in the first search topic that came up.  It did give me the answer of increase or decrease font size using the volume keys on the side of the phone.  Now you can disable that particular function so you don't accidentally increase the font size.  Thanks again.

  • Is there a way to auto increase font size in Mail?

    Some mail I receive uses a tiny font size.  I click "Command plus" to increase the font on these.  Is there a way to have Mail automatically increase any font size that is below a certain size?

    Hello 4thSpace,
    Have you tried increasing the fond size in the preferences?
    Mail menu > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
    Play around with the 'Message font' and 'Fixed-width font' settings. If changes do not seem to be taking effect, restart mail after every change (you shouldn't have to).
