Text Handling 243

A dialog appears with the following options...

The SCALING options allow you to specify how the embedded graphic should behave if
the width of the text column/area is changed, or if the graphic flows into a text area with a
different width.

• RESIZE FOR NARROWER COLUMNS - With this option (the default), the object will resize
down if it’s too wide for the text column, but it will not grow up above its original size if
the column is wider than the object.
• RESIZE RELATIVE TO COLUMN WIDTH - This option allows you to specify that the
embedded object should always be a fixed % of the column width.
• FIXED SIZE - This option turns off the automatic resizing, so the object will never
change its size.
• SCALE ONLY IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION - This option is useful mainly for simple divider
or Rule-off graphics, where you want the object to just stretch horizontally without
getting taller or shorter depending on the column width. It’s useful only for very simple
designs because more elaborate graphical divider designs are not likely to stretch well
without looking distorted.

Add a simple Rule-off divider at the carat position using the "INSERT" > "RULE-OFF" menu
option.

The POSITIONING options allow you to choose how the graphic should be formatted into
the text.
