Designing a layout from an Auto For-
mat template:
In addition to allowing you to draw pictures and
arrange text using any of the available fonts,
sizes, and styles, P-touch Editor comes with a
variety of pre-formatted templates, which make
creating label layouts quick and easy. Now let’s
see how simple it is to create a label layout with
the [Auto Format] command.
On an IBM PC-compatible computer:
1
Select the [Auto Format] command in the
[File] menu to start up the Auto Format
Wizard.
2
In the “Category:” box, select the category
containing the Auto Format template that
you wish to use. As an example, let’s select
“NAMEPLT”.
3
Click the Next button.
4
In the “Template:” list view, select the tem-
plate that you wish to use. Here, let’s select
the one named NAMEPLT2.LBL.
5
Click the Next button.
6
Click the Next or the Previous buttons until
the text that you wish to change appears in
the “Input:” edit box.
7
Change the text so that the desired text is
entered.
8
Repeat steps
6
and
7
until all of the text is
entered in the way that you want, and then
click the Next button. For this example, let’s
change the department name to “IMPORTS,
INC.”, the title to “Manager” and the name
to “BILL REYNOLDS”.
