oh yes, it is metrics, i see i set it to a value to have that first line reverse indent. thanks so much Dan, if you didnt say metrics, i never would have figured it out.

but if we double click the layer and retype, we get the same spacing, which is great. I just need a way to change that value, it will be helpful in a multiline template I need to create where the text is always aligned on a diagonal

Tero is correct, and animate position.

Im getting an error in your project, so I dont fully understand, but it sounds like you want the box final position height and width to be controlled by the sliders. I had a project like this that i had to turn into a template. except that my final position was controlled by source rect at time from various layers, so i had a lot of if statements to determine which layer would drive width and height. it was a long process and im not sure you want the same headache, so ill ask a question.
could you parent this box to a null and put the expression sliders controling the null, one slider for width one for height ?, see attached.

awesome, that works perfectly. I knew the symbol ! but could not figure out how to use it.
Thanks again Dan

thanks so much Dan. that officially allows me to stop researching these types of options

Kevin Camp had a great solution to this in another thread.

The only thing I would like to have different is to able to control the font of this extra text.

so. 1 this distance will be a fixed value ( example 10 pixels to the right )
2. I have taken this into consideration and that is not a problem. which is why the text may appear on 2 lines ( or for arguments sake, 3 lines, etc… )
3. Ill take what i can get, so the font can either be set up in the expression itself, or it can be a layer that already exists.
4. the width will determine the amount of lines, which I can accomplish with paragraph text or a simple expression that brings up a warning if the width exceeds a certain value.
I
`’m not sure what your last sentence means. how can i set it to first or second row. ? I need for this hypothetical text ( which is always a fixed text ) to appear after my main text, which is editable by the user ) regardless of amount of lines or justification options. </p><p><br></p><p>The only way that comes close is the exression that looks at the width and puts the text at the end but sadly if the first line of text is longer than the second line, the position will be wrong because it will look at the width of the first line</p> -
can you upload the project. ( or at least a reduced version of it )
myself ( or someone ) can see if it happens on our machine
