Resize Elements

Print Designer Overview | Print Designer FAQs

Pro

There are two ways to resize an element:

- Drag and drop the grab handles around the perimeter of the selected element, as shown below, with your mouse.

- Use the tool bar alignment options to quickly make the width of the selected element(s) the same as another element or the section containing it.

Horizontal grab handle

Vertical grab handle

Notes:

- Most elements can only be resized in the horizontal direction. Vertical sizing is controlled by the content of the element. If you drag the vertical grab handles on the top or bottom of the element, the vertical size "snaps" back to its original size when you let go.

- In the case of a logo, you can change the vertical sizing. However, when printing, the vertical size is automatically scaled to maintain the aspect ratio of your graphic based on the horizontal size. This helps prevent distortion of your printed logo.

- Take into consideration the size of the data that will populate a field when printing. If a data field size is too small, the printed data will be truncated to fit. Note on bar code fields

- You may find it helpful to use the top and side rulers and status bar coordinates for precise sizing.
