Overflow Settings

When the text that you're entering into a field can't be displayed in the space available for that field, TOTAL needs to know how it should treat the text to make it the most readable. The Overflow options section lets you set TOTAL to treat your overflow text exactly how you want it.

Reduce the size of the font in the current field XX time(s) by 1 pt before overflowing:
 — Check this box and enter a number in the field and TOTAL will attempt to fit the text into the field by reducing the font size according to your preferences.
If available, first overflow to the additional comments field on the major form:
 — Check this box, and TOTAL will place any overflow text in the additional comments field on the major form, if available.
When moving text, add this note to the current field:
 — When TOTAL moves your text in an overflow situation, the text you specify here will be added to the field where the text was originally.
Organize overflow text on the addendum in the sequence the fields occur on the form:
 — With this checked, the items on your addendum will appear in the order the fields occur in the major form.
Move all text to the addendum, then jump to the addendum:
 — This option will move all your text to the addendum, then jump to the addendum so you can continue working on it.
Copy all text to the addendum, then jump to the addendum:
 — This option will copy all your text to the addendum (which means the non-overflowing text will still be in the original field on the form) then jump to the addendum so you can continue working on it.
Do not move text to the addendum. Return to the field I was typing in:
 — This option means that TOTAL will not move any text to the addendum. You'll manually move, copy, or otherwise adjust your text to address any overflow situations.
Always prompt me with these settings when text overflows to the addendum:
 — This will let you choose your overflow options on a case-by-case basis.
