Thanks, Scott.

I will experiment with the formattedRect property. It is frustrating because I just finished a large project, just to have this requirement thrown in at the last minute. If it was not challenging, it would not be any fun.

Thanks again,
Ed

Keep in mind the term "rect" refers to a rectangular region. There is no built-in way to do what you want. When you say "user entered" do you mean after the text is entered, or dynamically as it is being typed? You might be able to fit text to a shape using the formattedRect property of text, but IIRC this will only work on text already in a field (you can't get the formattedRect of text in a variable for example). If you lock the screen and rewrap the text line-by-line, you might get acceptable performance.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is it possible for user-entered text to be auto-fitted into a non- square/rectangle text field? This code does not give me an error, nor does it result in any change.
Code:
set the rect of fld "triangle1" to the rect of grc "triangle1"
Even ensuring the polygon only has three points did not do the trick

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed
