Hi,

Reduce the font size of the paragraph format or

restrict the number of characters with &variable(numberofcharacters)&

Hi florian

The answer you has given is restricting the length of it. It means if the length is more than 30 the remaining characters are cut down. But i want the remaing characters under that.

like i have the description as

ALZYME SYRUP -diabetic drug for old people

the idea u has given is cutting the length to 30

i.e ALZYME SYRUP -diabetic drug for

But i want the remaining length also like

ALZYME SYRUP -diabetic drug for

old people

Thanks & regards

you could however code in the line under it:

/ ,,&ARKTX+30(I)&

which means in the next line at the same tab you get printed the character exceeding 30 and the (I) makes sure that they will only get printed if they are not empty.
