Adjusting a symbol size to text

Adjusting symbols to text resizes symbols so that they display all the text they contain. For example, a rectangle adjusts its size to fit closely around its text. A table symbol adjusts its size to display full column names, or column codes, up to the truncation or word wrap length. You can define default adjustment to all symbols. However, if you manually resize a symbol, the Adjust to Text functionality is automatically disabled for that symbol.

For more information about adjusting the default symbol size, see the "Selecting format display preferences" section.

To adjust symbol size to text:

Select one or more symbols.

Select Symbol→Adjust to Text.

All selected symbols adjust to the length and height of the text they contain.
