Table Of Contents
If it is impossible to make a text fit within the box with the given minimum and maximum font
size, this will be reported as an error during a preflight (see "Testing scripts" on page332).
How it works
When the Copy Fit feature is activated, the font size is calculated for the entire Box. Elements
inside that Box get a font size relative to the Box. This means that their relative proportions are
maintained.
How to position elements
To position elements in relation to each other in a template, you can wrap those elements in a
Table or Box (see "Table" on page229 and "Boxes" on page211), and/or use the Spacing
property of the elements. The Spacing property can also be used to indent elements or create a
hanging paragraph or image; see "Spacing" on page277.
Aligning objects with an absolute position is easy with the Alignment buttons. Guides help to
align elements as well; see "Aligning objects" on the next page.
The top, right, bottom, and left properties specify offsets from the edges of the element's
containing block.
Where to use Tables and Boxes
Tables, Positioned Boxes and Inline Boxes can help position elements in relation to other
elements. It depends on the context which element is best to use.
In the Email context, Tables are the most reliable way to position text and images; see
"Designing an Email template" on page142 and "Table" on page229.
In the Print context, Tables can be used to position elements, as well as both types of Boxes;
see "Table" on page229 and "Boxes" on page211.
Spacing
Boxes, tables, paragraphs and many other elements have a margin and padding.
The margin is the white space around an element, outside the border. It is used to position an
element in relation to the other elements, by putting more space between the element and its
surrounding elements.
