Auto Size Rows

The Auto Size Row option will automatically increase the size of rows in the 30 Day View if the number or size of events exceeds the row size.

• Turning feature On and Off: This feature is enabled by default. To turn this feature off choose Edit/Options and uncheck the option for Automatically resize week row option. You will then be able to manually size rows but only within the size of the screen.
• Printing: When a calendar page grows beyond the normal page size, a continuation page will be printed containing the additional information.
• Clip to week row boundary: To prevent events from being clipped during printout an option has been added to break the page if an entire week cannot be started and finished on the same page. This will prevent most cases of event clipping. To turn this feature off choose Edit/Options and uncheck the option for Clip to week row boundary. *

* Disabling the clip to week row option may cause events to be clipped at the bottom of printouts. If this occurs, resize the event(s) (increase or decrease height) until the clipping stops or re-enable clip to week row option.

Auto Size Events

The Auto Size Event option will allow events to grow automatically to accommodate text and larger font sizes.
