Abstract
A method and an arrangement for filling out a form by means of a processor-controlled typewriter or similar machine which includes a form memory. The text keyed in, which is to be printed in a text field on the form defined in the form memory, is stored in a text memory of the machine. The size of the area required for printout of the text, considering a given line and character spacing, is compared with the area available in the intended text field. If necessary, the line and/or character spacing is automatically changed before printout so as to adapt the text to the boundaries of the text field. With a suitable printing mechanism, it is also possible to change the size of the characters.
