Dear All,

I Have an odd inquiry:

Is it possible to format the height of a cell according to the amount of information within it?

I know that I can adjust the height of rows in a table layout. But if I need more room for some cells and less for others, is there way to automate custom sizes for each. Please see attached image "FMP_inquiry_1" to see what I mean.

Is there a way to align information in between cells in a table rows?

This alignment depends on the University name, is there a way to automate the placement of other information based on this field?

Background information:

We are using FMP to consolidate records for all of our grant recipients. And we will be publishing a directory listing their grant information. Which includes: Grant Year, Grant Category, Host University/Institution.

So this will go out of FMP into PDF format.

Any of your suggestions as to how to go about this, would be greatly appreciated.

best,

Lisette

Adjust your fields to the largest height necessary to hold all the information, then use sliding/visibility in the position inspector, this will reduce the size of the fields as necessary, works only in preview mode.

Thanks for the tip Rod, but didn't seem to work. : all the cells stayed the same size in spite of the cell content.

Any other suggestions.
