Making Data Fit on a Label
If your data does not fit on a label, LabelMark displays it in red and it will not print properly until you
make it fit. For additional information about text formatting, see Formatting Text.
To make an oversized item fit, you can do one of the following:
•
For text (see Format Toolbar):
Reduce the font size.
Condense the text.
Use Automatic Text Formatting, set in the User Defaults :
o
Auto fit text lines (also found in the Format drop-down menu) – When the end of a line is
reached, text size decreases as necessary as each additional character is added, down to a
minimum of four points.
o
Auto match text size (also found in the Format drop-down menu) – Text size and
condensing values remain the same for any text added within a label zone, keeping
formatting within the label zone consistent from line to line (this is done on a zone-by-
zone basis).
Note: The Auto match text size option is available only in LabelMark Plus.
•
Change to a larger label part (see Selecting a Different Label Part ).
•
Move the object to left and towards the top of the label in LabelMark Plus (see Moving an
Object).
If you are importing data, serializing or inserting date/time information and the data does not fit:
•
Click on one of the imported data elements, select Edit Select All Linked Objects and
change the font attributes until the data fits.
