Adding Text

Once a label or template file is created or opened, the label editor is activated for the 
chosen label part. If not using Graphical Label Design mode, you are automatically in text 
mode and only text can be added to the label. The cursor displays as an “I-beam” 
indicating text can be entered.

To add text to a label:

1.

Click on the label where text should be added. 

A blue dotted line displays around the label indicating that label is selected, i.e., the focus is 
directed to that label.

2.

Type the text.

Graphical Label Design

If using Graphical Label Design mode, to add text:

1.

Click on the label where text should be added.

2.

Choose Insert>Label Objects>Text.

OR

On the Action toolbar, click the Text button 

 .

The mouse pointer becomes an I-beam, indicating that text can be entered.

3.

Click the mouse where the text should be placed.

4.

Enter the text.

A border displays around the text as it is being entered. This border represents the text line.

5.

When finished entering the text, click anywhere on the screen to remove the typing line 
borders.
