Line spacing in a field

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Levi,

Try something like:

on SetLinesSpacing pFieldName,pHeight
   -- pFieldName parameter is the short name of the field
   -- pHeight parameter is an integer

   set the textHeight of fld pFieldName to pHeight
   -- in fact this line is not compulsory
   set the textSize of fld pFieldName to round(pHeight/4*3)
   set the fixedLineHeight of fld pFieldName to true
end SetLinesSpacing

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
