      The Text for my Title is expanding into the “bleed” section of the magazine cover.
      How do I prevent this?

      (I am using the Data Merge option so it’s got to be an automatic solution not requiring manual edits for each record).

      I have a text frame with a yellow fill. The frame is expanding now if the words are too large. (the problem). Can I shrink the text automatically? Can I prevent words being split and hyphenated?

      Ideally I can place it on a Yellow cover.

      Thanks.

      There is no automatic way to make text automatically shrink to fit a frame. Colin Flashman (who will be presenting at this year’s PePcon in San Diego) wrote up an interesting workaround here: https://colecandoo.com/2012/02/18/square-pegs-now-fit-into-round-holes/

      Thanks for this web link, David. Sounds like what I am looking for.
