Is there any way to set a column width without filling the column?
I’m using a pre-existing form template (has to be the format already made) which is very irregular. I have the form jpg as the background layer, and I’m putting text on top of it to fit in the right places of the background. I will need to be able to preset column widths so that I can use fields to place the appropriate text were needed.
For example, on the form, the first row is a name field, a series of check boxes, and followed by another name field on the far right. I need to check one of the checkboxes and then enter the names, based on input variables a user would enter.
If I could preset the column widths, I could then just make a column for each field and it would be a piece of cake. But with how dynamic the column sizes are (as far as I know), this becomes tricky. If all the data was static, I could manipulate margins to make it work (like checkboxes). But with name fields, I won’t know how many characters are being entered in advance.
Currently, I’m thinking I’m going to have to figure out how many characters a field could take up, and then somehow setup a logic that if the input is less than that max character limit, to add space characters and use the “fit content” column width. This form has close to 200 fields, so having to do all that is going to be a mission (whoever made this form is a jerk lol).
I’m hoping I’m missing a simple setting to just set a column width (50px) and my life would become much easier. Or if someone can suggest a simpler logic that would be great. Thanks.
