Weather Slides
I have weather alert slates set up to run as a bar across the lower 1/3 of my screen. 565 W by 120 H. I have one that runs the current temp and conditions while the second one has outlook length (just 1 time period). I am having troubles with the text area on the outlook slate filling up the whole screen. I would like the biggest font size possible while still getting all of the info. What's the best way to do this?
I've tried a few things. AutoSize (seems to always shrink it down to 6 point font and leaves a ton of "white space" at the bottom). Take off AutoSize and increase font size (miss some of the text when the forecast has lots of words). Change field size to all three (small, medium, large) still leaves white space and has small font.
Maybe I can set it to a large font size and just have a slate follow with any additional text if need be? Maybe this would allow for me to add more "time periods". I had made a suggestion to allow for separate slates to have different "time periods". (for example, slate 1 is today, slate 2 is tonight, slate 3 is tomorrow).
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Inappropriate?Hi Jon,
Autosize should try to fit the biggest font size it can into the space available... Is it possible to make the outlook text block any bigger so it could maybe fit a larger font size in?
