TMP - Possible to truncate full words?

As the title, is it possible to truncate full words. I can only seem to truncate individual letters. Or actually in my case it’s a string of 1 or 2 digit numbers, sometimes the units digits are truncated off the right but the tens digits remain which looks ugly.

I tried changing the word spacing too but it didn’t really solve it.

 

Truncate and Ellipsis Overflow Modes either truncate or replace individual characters.

There is no Overflow modes right now to truncate full words which is something I could consider adding.

Can you post a few examples of this just so we could get feedback from other users to see if they would find this functionality useful.

 

I thought it was pretty self explanatory, but here is a piccy!



New numbers are added on the left and fall off the right. The 2 on the right is actually another 24. I simply want it to automatically hide the full 'word'.

***I have since found that setting the overflow method to Linked (with no link) to give me the desired effect. But I don't know if that is getting a bit hacky?!

 

Good catch That should indeed provide the desired result and should be fine to us as such.

P.S. I'll see if I can add a new overflow mode that does the above but without the Link part just to minimize potential confusion.
