Hello,

I am merging documents with fields from an Excel sheet.
I need to put some text (from Excel) into boxes pre-printed on the paper,
the boxes have fixed sizes.

The problem is that some datas in the Excel sheet doesn't fit in the boxes,
and because I am using non-fixed fonts the values of the datas are changing
the width of the text (MMMMM vs IIIII).

My goal is to do a macro (in Excel or Word) to tell me which records doesn't
fit in a XX centimeters box when using a specific font/size (and then I can
modify manually the datas in Excel when it's too large).

I searched how to get the real printed width (or any value with a fixed
ratio value/real_printed_width) of a string but I can't find any information
about it.

Thank you VERY VERY much in advance, ANY help is REALLY appreciated.
Seb.

PS: sorry for my bad English, it is not my first language.
