Formatting Dynaimc Text on Multiple Lines

Matt-Barrett — Tue, 27 May 2025 15:42:36 GMT

I have a map document in Pro 3.4.x with multiple layouts. I'm naming the layouts so that each layout will have a map title using dynamic text as the map title. However, one of my titles is longer than will fit in the space provided along the line, but there's plenty of space below.

Is there a way to format the dynamic text so that it will wrap onto a second line? I checked the command reference but couldn't find anything other than textformatting.newline, which I don't think is the correct command to use here, unless I'm mistaken.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi @Matt-Barrett,

Adjusting the fitting strategy you should be able to make the changes you are looking for.

Thank you! I had no idea "Rectangle Text" was even a thing!
