Adjusting Fixed-Width Regions

When line-oriented regions, like the one shown in Figure 152, are converted to fixed-width regions, it is sometimes necessary to define the row length - Stylus Studio uses a default row length of 80 characters for displaying fixed-width files.

Figure 152. Line-Oriented Region

There are two 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 grid to the left or right - move the pointer to the right border of the document grid. 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.

After converting the line-oriented region shown in Figure 152 to fixed-width, it looks like this:

Figure 152 shows the same fixed-width file after it has been resized by dragging the document grid.
