Just following up your point, I need the text boxes to be fixed in size and have the text shrink to fit rather than the opposite way around.

This is for mailing badges which have a fixed area available to print, but variable length text. For example, if 2 names are:

Josephine Amanda Arkwright
Bob Smith

I need Josephine's whole name to appear, so font size needs to reduce. For Bob, the font can stay as it is (assuming I make it fairly big to start with).

In this way, both names roughly fit the badge without having a lot of white space left over and without truncating the names.

sorry I didn't explain this fully earlier!
