Designing a Layout
Counter Object Properties
Text to include
Before
- Enter any text that you want to appear before the
counter.
After
- Enter any text that you want to appear after the
counter.
For example, if you want to create labels for a set of 10
CDs, numbered sequentially, you can enter "Disc " in the
Before box and " of 10" in the After box. When you print
your labels, the first label will read "Disc 1 of 10," the
second label will read "Disc 2 of 10," and so on.
Start at Enter the number to start the counter at.
Count by Enter the number to increment by.
Width
Enter the minimum number of spaces to reserve on the label
for the counter.
Print leading zeros
Include leading zeros before counter numbers.
Use the Width and Print Leading Zeros options together to
print zeros in front of smaller numbers.
For example, suppose you enter 5 for the width and you
select Print Leading Zeros . In this case, when you print a
label numbered 10, the number will print as "00010" (5
characters wide with leading zeros). If you do not select
Print Leading Zeros, the label will print as "10" with three
blank spaces in front of the number.
