Adjust font size to fit text to frame in InDesign



Adjust font size to fit text to frame in InDesign


Question

I'm using InDesign data merge to generate lots of filled-in pages. I have a specific text block which holds a name, but always needs to be on one line. Is there any way I can have InDesign automatically reduce the font-size if the text wraps?

Im not sure of the context but when I encounter similar situations when doing certificates I will use the preview toggle on the DataMerge panel to preview the largest value before I run the merge. Then I adjust the font size so that the largest values fit. Then I will run the merge. This way all the names are formatted consistently.
