Check Text Overflow

Property of the ScriptLine : Pre-Processing.

This property is extremely useful to alert you to any possible text overflows in an output file.

Text overflow, denoted by the symbol in QuarkXPress, usually occurs when inserting text of variable length such as holidays or slogans. But it can also occur the first time you generate a diary in a new language, particularly for languages with long weekday names such as German.

•

Any text overflow encountered by Q++ while generating an output file will be logged as an error and you will be able to inspect and modify these directly. This verification is only performed in the textboxes in which Q++ performs text replacement (if a textbox does not contain any tokens then any text overflow inside it is assumed to be know or voluntary on the part of the person who desined the GridTemplate).

•	You should always set this option to true, except in some rare cases, using QuarkXPress 3.3x, when the use of this option with a particular GridTemplate causes Quark to crash during diary generation (but even with Quark 3.3x, this is extremely rare).

You can define default values to be used for this property whenever creating a new script, by using the Execution Options preferences.
