Hi all,

I have resently discovered autocrat and played around with Data merging from sheets to docs. The table in docs do not have the ability to Autosize the text within the table, so that it does not shrink with more text added. The appearence/size of the table will change with the amount of Text.

In slides there is this function to autosize text in the boxes. It works very well when i am typing in the slides directly. The text shrinks. But as soon as i merge with autocrat the text does not shrink and went over the border of the box.

Can someone confirm this behaviour, or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks all
Chuck

Good morning,

i did some testing and this problem persists. The first try was to output a pdf file in wich the text goes over the border. Then i changed the output format to slides and the newly generatet slide with all the merged text and data has the same problem. The auto text size feature is disabled. In the source template it is activated. So it must be deactivated at the merging process somewhere. If this can be a option for the future, is this the right place to ask? Or better somewhere else? 

Funny thing is... with pictures everthing is alright. They are autosized by autocrat to the size of the box.

thanks
chuck
