There are a couple options here. If you want the exact point size to be scaled
down to 18 when the text is long, you can create a text rule to do this. Here
is some code that should accomplish the goal, just switch our the field name
and make sure to turn the checkbox on in the dialog to return the string as
tagged text.
x = Trim(Field("Name")).length;
if (x > 15)
return "<z newsize=18>" + Trim(Field("Name"));
else
return "<z newsize=24>" + Trim(Field("Name"));
Otherwise, there is copyfitting functionality in the software which will scale
the text to fit the frame automatically. You can find this option by selecting
the text frame and in the text frame palette, click the Overflow button and
select the 'Adjust text to fit' button.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [fusionpro] Reducing point size based on character count
This was fairly simple in Yours Truly, but how do I do it in FusionPro.
I have a variable field that uses the point size 24pt, but I only have
room for 15 characters at that point size. How do I tell FusionPro to
reduce the point size to 18pt if the character count is greater than 15
characters?
