Adjusting Fixed-Width Regions

Stylus Studio uses a default row length of 80 characters for fixed-width files. You might need to adjust the row length of a region if your input file uses a different row length, or when converting a line-oriented region, like the one shown in Figure 181, to fixed-width.

Figure 181. Line-Oriented Region

There are three ways to specify the row length for a fixed-width region:

Using the Row Length property - simply change the default value, 80, to the value that is appropriate for the current region and press Enter.

Dragging the document pane to the left or right - move the pointer to the right border of the document pane. When it changes shape, press and hold mouse button 1 and drag the right border of the grid until the input file's fields are aligned.

Holding the Shift key and pressing the right arrow (to add width) or the left arrow (to decrease width)

Example

After converting the line-oriented region shown in Figure 181 to fixed-width, it looks like this:

Figure 181 shows the same fixed-width file after it has been resized by dragging the document pane.
