A former FileMaker developer at my company managed to insert merge fields into a layout that were "smaller" than their field names. That is, if the field name was "FieldName", the merge field would normally be inserted as "<<FieldName>>" but he managed to make it so that the field appeared as "<<Fi". (The width was smaller and the height remained constant at one line high.) This is great when trying to put merge fields at the right hand margin of layouts so the horizontal scrollbar doesn't constantly show up and mess up the appearance.
I can't for the life of me figure out how he did this, and Google is not being my friend when I try to search for it. Does anyone have any super-secret tip on how to accomplish this magic? I'm designing a new database that would benefit from it. -- David O’Donnell ? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of I.T. ? ☎ +1 703/421-2610
