Look at the picture below, that's how i want it to look like, thought a bit better, without the line spacing that comes, because i manually have to edit font size for each line. And i don't want to use the function that adds a little bit of space between each letter to make it fit, because i don't think it looks very well.

Thanks

hi,
sorry,
i have looked at your post a few times trying to figure out a way to do it simply... but i couldn't come upwithanything and that why i didn't reply ...
but the only way could come with something is maybe make multible text boxes but that would still require a few click....

was hoping some of the more experience people would jump in...
if there is no further replies let me know ..!!

What you want is not fully clear... you said you don't want to do things manually?

I couldn't think of a way without kerning (the function that adds the little spaces), so I didn't reply as it wasn't relevant, now I see it must have been, if not in the original context.

Welcome to the forum though, it's unusual not to be picked out for that, if not the question :)

Why not just make parargaph text and enter each line as one parargaph? Set the parargaph alignment to justify all.

Justification dialog maybe of help too...

I second that.

Add a space between each letter and two spaces between words if you want the letters to space out evenly across the page.

What i want is to make the text resized to the maximum possible size inside the text box automatically, without having to do it manually, which adds space between each line. I tried paragraph, but i don't like the result. I want to avoid adding extra space between letters, words and lines.

All you need is make text box, check Justify all in the Paragraph panel and enter your text line by line, ending each line with Enter key.

Other then that there is no need to add extra space anywhere. Big Wink
