Auto resize graphic to fit table
by TUpTRUE » Thu, 30 Nov 2006 13:35:01 GMT
I've created a mail merge to insert a series of graphics into tables using
INCLUDEPICTURE "{MERGEFIELD "GRAPHIC_FILENAME}" \* MERGEFORMAT .
Is there a way I can automatically fit the graphic to the size of a table
cell?
What I'm looking for is the opposite of the "automatically resize table to
fit contents"; instead, I want to resize the contents (i.e., the graphic) to
fit the table.

If you disable auto resizing in the table and set the cell to an exact
height, the inserted picture will not exceed the height of the cell, but if
the aspect ratio of the picture is different from that of the cell, it may
not fill the width or may be truncated. If all the pictures have the same
aspect ratio, then you can set a preferred width for the cell as well (I
have done this successfully for a membership directory where all the member
photos were in at 3:4 ratio). Remember to set cell margins to 0".

1.auto resize text to fit in fixed size text box using word
I have a document that inputs text from a word VBA form into a text
box.
This is done by using a bookmark placed in the text box then running
the following command
.Bookmarks("part1").Range.Text = txtpt1.Value
The problem I have sometimes the text is too small for the text box and
other times it is too big so once my code has finished running the user
has to manually resize the text font size to fit the text box.
Is there a way i.e. VBA code that will auto resize the text to fit the
size of the text box
Many thanks

2.Turn off "auto fit" in Smart Art Graphics
I am creating a flow chart that does not fit the "automatic" Smart Art
layouts. I am able to change shapes, but the "Auto Fit" is driving me nuts.
I've tried to turn it off in text boxes by selecting shapes, selecting text,
selecting the who smart art graphics, and the "auto fit" is greyed out and
set in "on" position.
How can I turn it off for Smart Art?
Thanks

5.Table resize to fit contents
I want to make a table that will automatically adjust the width of the column
to fit the text. Neither setting Automatically resize to fit contents, or
setting Table->AutoFit->AutoFit to contents seems to do this. The last
character I type always gets wrapped to the next line in the cell. This seems
very odd.
