Hello Everyone,
I have a template that I'm using the following CopyFit Rule. The rule is
being used for a paragraph of variable text. The text within this
paragraph is flush left aligned. But, the longest line of text within
this paragraph has to be right aligned with a gray line above the
paragraph. This CopyFit Rule adjusts the indent of the left edge of the
paragraph to do this. The rule is working out great doing exactly this.
Two of the text lines within the variable paragraph contain phone
contact information. The phone contact information contains formatting
rules. The phone formatting rule concatenates the (phone prefix + tab +
999.999.9999) The customer can choose which phone prefix that they
would like to use from a drop down menu that contains several options
(Cell, Phone, Fax, Direct, etc....) Even through the customer can choose
from several prefix options the tab value between the prefix and number
must be consistent so that the two text lines that contain the two phone
options align with one another even when different phone prefixes are
being used. The problem is that when I set the tab value in fusion pro
it works great in some instances, but does not work when the CopyFit
Rule line indent moves past the tab value in order to accommodate the
text alignment needed.
Does anyone know how to utilize this CopyFit Rule and still maintain a
consistent tab value between my phone prefix and number regardless of
how far left or right the CopyFit Rule indent moves? Is there a way to
specify that the tab value starts at the indent?
Thanks in advance for any help!
