Adjusting Fixed-Width Regions

Stylus Studio uses a default row length of 80 characters for fixed-width files. You might need to adjust the row length of a region if your input file uses a different row length, or when converting a line-oriented region, like the one shown in Figure 181, to fixed-width.

Figure 181. Line-Oriented Region

There are three ways to specify the row length for a fixed-width region:

Example

After converting the line-oriented region shown in Figure 181 to fixed-width, it looks like this:

Figure 181 shows the same fixed-width file after it has been resized by dragging the document pane.
