Text in header line by line problems  en

Hi Everyone

Two problems with text in headers.

1) I need to insert a business address in a header. Do I really need to insert 4 seperate text boxes which makes it very difficult to line up. Why can I not get to the end of line 1 push return and the next line automatically appears perfectly spaced and lined up?

2) When I have inserted this address into my desktop header and (after some time) managed to line it all up. I now need to resize it in the mobile breakpoint header as it will not alter automatically. I cannot alter the font size in the text editor as this changes the font size in all of the breakpoints. The only way appears to be to highlight the text box and make the box smaller so altering the font size (Although it does not change the font size in the text editor). This now causes another hours work trying to line and space them all up again.

All help appreciated.

Steve,

Youre making it yourself too difficult.

Use the table object and after setting everything up remove the border lines.

If this object does not fit lower resolutions, then remove it from the lower resolutions and (copy it) make a new one smaller for the lower resolution.

At some point it is possible to have to use less text in the lowest resolutons to make it clear on the smallest viewport(s)

Then you could also do with the most important text line.

Gooduck!

Is the table option available on the header/footer setup? Sorry, or where do I find the table option?  Many thanks.

Sorry Andre E, just one quick question.

I have used tables and all is now fine. I just need to check that any font used in a table will still be converted to an image in the header so that it appears correctly on any browser, if not I will be limited to the fonts I can use?

Don't be sorry, that's where we are here for.

Fonts are also available on the device you are watching with, if the specific font is not availablle there then it will fall back to a standard that is available. So your information will always be visible.

If you want a picture then create it like you wish, make prtscrn, then set that one in x5, but more work and pictures take longer to view, remember to take in account download time on mobile phone.

You can add also fonts so that they are available from site, but normally you don't need that only if you want explicit use of that font. And as already mentioned, these take more download time so for mobile's it is something you need to think about.

More information about adding fonts is in the manual. The manual is of x5 is pritty good so check that often (press F1 inx5)
