tab layout

[MarkR]

Hi,

Is there anyway I can size the layout region of each tab to its content
and not have them all the same?

Thank you

Mark

Not straight out of the box, but a solution:

Select the text or table in the current tab, click "HTML" in the Properties box, type CTRL+A to copy all of the HTML and then create a new text box the width of the region area and press CTRL+T and paste it. You can then delete the original bit, and use only the text box with the HTML pasted into it. Make sure you grab the entire MLR and drag the bottom "handle" up so it's compressed as much as it can be. It will now automatically adjust the height based on which tab is open. Do this for each tab.

Of course, doing it this way means edits can be made difficult, but if it's simple word changes etc., just go to the text box you want to change, double click in it and press CTRL+T and edit the code. It's usually pretty easy. If it's a complicated change you will have to recreate it and then start these instructions again.

Thank you for the information; I am going to try it out and will let you
know how it works.
