Making IPTC Stationary Pad larger

[dnikkor]

I am running PM 4.5 (plan to upgrade soon). My problem is that with my Dell laptop resolution, the IPTC Stationary Pad is too small (older eyes need larger print). As a working wire service photographer, this can lead to captioning errors and also makes it harder to work the caption.

Is there a way to make that window larger?

Thanks!

No, not in PM 4.5.  In PM 4.6.x you can resize the dialogs, and in PM 5 you can customize the layout of the dialogs and the dialogs are re-sizable.

Thanks! All the more reason to upgrade. I'm shooting a MLB game tonight, will I be able to figure out the upgrade in version 5 on the fly?

I wouldn't suggest making that kind of change while you're doing a job!  Spend some time with the new version before you start a new job, please.

Hi Kirk. OK, I just purchased & upgraded to V4.6.9. I can't seem to find in preferences how to resize the IPTC window. Help please and thank you.

Found it....I'll upgrade my laptop to V5 once I have the time to play with it. Thanks again for your help Kirk.
