Question

Text boxes change upon opening file

One of our engineers mentioned that text boxes always change size when re-opening a file. So if his file contained a text box with 3 lines of text when he re-opens the file the text box has changed to 6 lines of text and the text box is smaller. He said this has been on ongoing issue since time began. Can someone shed some light on this?

This very likely happens when you edit and save while using a zoom factor different from 100%.

Are you using Mathcad 14 or mathcad 15?

As far as I remember MC14 was quite famous for this effect, but it still happens sometimes with MC15, too.

Its quite cumbersome to consider that effect and make all textboxes abit wider than absolutely necessary.

    I take it you have de-selected all the autosize selections

    The engineer is going to check the autosize selections and let me know. He said it happens specifically when he zooms. Thank you for your thoughts as well Mike. We appreciate it. When I have more info I will be sure to post it. Thank you
