ZAPIER

The Text Objects field allows you to adjust the height, width, and text alignment of the text object to prevent any text from being cut off.

For instance:

  • Width: 133
  • Height: 100
  • Text alignment: Left

You can input the above values in the Text Objects field using the following format:

459;12;0;your text here;12;Arial;;;;133;100;left
