How to access Horizontally scale feature in font through expression?

[Tamer Abu Rabah]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to access Horizontally scale feature in font through expression so I can control it from a slider. 

The reason I want to control this is so I can change the width size in a paragraph text (not point text) so it can fit more text without affecting the height of the font

Thank you

If you check the Expression Language menu in the timeline, you will see that horizontal and vertical character scale are not yet available. 

Here is the Help page on controlling text with expressions.

It is a good feature request.

As Rick says, you won't be able to affect that property directly, but you can use the tiny Animate mean to add a Tracking animator and then you can control the spacing that way.
