Truncate Text Block to Page Width

Truncate Text Block to Page Width

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
I am an analysis engineer working in the nuclear industry. I create calculations that need to be easy to read by my colleagues and the clients that my company serves.


2. What version of Mathcad are you currently running?
Mathcad Prime 8

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Text blocks currently extend the full width of the Mathcad document which prevents notes being added in the margin off the right hand side of the page. Truncating the text block width to the page width would separate the contents of the main document as printed and any notes placed in the margin.

4. What is the use case for your organization?
This affects all reports written by my team.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
Currently to write text across the page width without interfering with the contents of the margin we have to insert and resize a text box. Setting the text block width to the page width by default would save time resizing text boxes.
