Working with Graphics
Drawing Tools
Many word processors have drawing tools, which are handy for creating
lines and shapes. Colors should remain black and white, which will give
the best quality printing output. Actual print color is dependent on the
ribbon and vinyl used with the DuraLabel 7000 and is unaffected by the
colors shown on your computer screen.
Images
To insert a picture in a Word document, follow these steps:
Create a new text box (this allows the image to be moved as needed).
Click inside the text box, and click on
Insert > Picture > From File .
Choose the location of the image file and then select the image.
Change the size of the graphic by dragging its corner to make the image
the desired size.
Other graphics, objects and clip-art can be included using the same pull-
down menu. Once an image is inserted, the best printing results are
achieved if the image is monochrome. Color images can be converted to
monochrome. To convert an image to monochrome double-click on it,
select the
Picture tab. Under Image Control , then select Black and
White from the Color pull-down menu.
Symbols
To insert a symbol, click Insert > Picture > From File . Browse the My
Documents folder. I the symbols from the DuraLabel 7000 CD have
been installed (they auto-install with the templates), a folder will appear
inside
My Documents named DuraLabel 7000 . The Symbols Folder is
located in that folder. Find the needed symbol and insert.
Sequencing
Sequencing is commonly used to increment a numeric value to be used
when printing wire wrap labels. However, these instructions apply to any
type of label. You can use either an Excel spreadsheet template or
Word template.
1. Open an existing template or start a new Word document.
