Horizontal scale

You can change the space between letters as described in Letter spacing. Furthermore, there is another option: Horizontal scale.

Changing the Horizontal scale does not change the space between the letters, but the width of the characters themselves – thus the letters are distorted.

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.Select the Text edit tool icon_tool_text-edit in the Quick access toolbar.
2.Select the text that you want to fit.
3.Choose the ribbon command Home | group Character | Spacing and scaling icon_linespacing-custom, and select Horizontal scale in the menu that appears.
4.In the following dialog box Text Scale, enter the desired value.
