TextSizer Properties

To understand how TextSizer is implemented, it is first necessary to understand that TextSizer consists of many parts that combine to form the finished product. Have a look at the example. The example has 8 parts: the main text area, a previous page button, a next page button, an increase font button, a decrease font button, a single column button, a multi-column button, and the page number display (lower right corner).

Each of these parts are separate entities and are placed and positioned in the page layout individually. And it is not necessary for all of the parts to be used. For example, TextSizer works fine with only the main text area, a forward button and a backward button. So it is at your discretion what parts to implement.

For each of the parts you do want implemented, you'll need to drop an instance of TextSizer in the Page Layout. In the TextSizer property palette there is a field, TextSizer Object, that determines which of the before mentioned 8 parts, that instance of the component will be.
