Use

You adjust the font size within a text field on the label template using character sizing. This means that the text makes best use of the space available. You can specify the font size range (8 to 32 point, for example).

WWI provides two options for character sizing (dynamic text) during the creation of report templates:

  • Graphical determination of character sizing
    • Takes place via the macro function in Microsoft Word.
    • Advantage: All text settings (such as particular fonts, texts, and tables) are taken into account during character sizing.
    • Disadvantage: Character sizing takes a relatively long time.
  • Calculation of character sizing
    • Takes place via settings in the WWI.INI file. Graphical determination of character sizing using Microsoft Word is deactivated.
    • Advantage: Character sizing takes a relatively short time.
    • Disadvantage: Not all text settings (such as particular fonts and texts in tables) are taken into account during character sizing.

For more information about configuring the WWI.INI file, see the Customizing activity Adapt WWI.INI.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Specify the following values for calculating character sizing in the WWI.INI file under [Dyntext] for MODE:

  • Value 0: Character sizing is controlled via the macro function of Microsoft Word. In other words, the character sizing is not calculated.
  • Value 1: Character sizing is calculated for the Label report type only. This is the default setting.
  • Value 2: Character sizing is calculated for all report types.

If you have specified the value 1 or 2 in the WWI.INI file, you can configure character sizing under [Dyntext] as follows:

  • PrinterDC
    • Specifies the device context used for character sizing.
    • Value 1: The device context of the standard printer is used to calculate the character sizing. This is the default setting.
    • Value 0: The device context of the screen is used. Using this setting for character sizing can lead to inaccurate results being displayed. For example, the font size displayed may be too small or too large.
  • Printer
    • Specifies the name of the printer whose device context is to be used for character sizing.
    • Use the device context of a printer with the highest resolution possible. We recommend a resolution of 600 dpi. This setting also applies to label printers with quite low resolution.
  • Trace
    • Controls the creation of a trace file for troubleshooting.
    • Value 1: A trace file is created.
    • Value 0: A trace file is not created. This is the default setting.
