Fitting text to frames and shapes
Text overflow
If there's too much text to fit into a text frame or shape, the Overflow
button appears beneath the shape; DrawPlus stores the overflowing text in an
invisible overflow area.
To make all the text fit you
might edit the story down to
allow text to fit in the frame
or shape. However, scaling
the frame or shape text to fit
may be preferable so it fits
exactly into the available
frame.
To scale the frame or shape text:
• Click Overflow to autofit the frame or shape text to its container.
- or -
• Use Autofit on the Text context toolbar.
For incremental scaling, use the Enlarge Text or Shrink Text buttons
on the same toolbar.
Positioning
• Vertical alignment (right-click Text>Text Flow...) moves existing
text to the Top, Bottom, or Centre of the container (alternatively you
can justify text vertically). The setting anchors a particular part of the
object—for example, a "Top" setting anchors the top line and forces
new text to come in below, while a "Bottom" setting anchors the
bottom (most recent) line and pushes previous lines up as you type
new lines.
