Is there anyway in Filemaker Pro 8 to have a field text adjust it's
own size to fit the area within. I.E. If the data is displaying ok
at 10 point that reads "This is some data for a limited area.", and
when data is displayed in another record that says "This is some data
for a limited area but I'm much longer and I don't fit." will
automatically reduce in font size to say 8 point or what ever is
required to make it fit the limited display area.

Thanks,

Not that I know of. You're best bet is to either make the field big
enough to fit the longest text or format it to use a scrollbar so users
can view any text outside the fields set dimensions.

Look for the custom function 'SizeMask'
