NOTES:
If a greater number of special registers is used, the following notation helps the user get hang of
types of registers and options:
•
The range of the register is limited with arrows whose colour depends on the type of
register.
−
the incremental counter is indicated with blue arrows ,
−
the decremental counter is indicated with green arrows ,
−
the universal-date-and-time field is indicated with turquoise-coloured arrows ,
•
If the mouse cursor is placed in the text-edit window within the filed area, the colour of the field in
the variable field list changes from black to red.
•
If the field is a non-volatile one (and is displayed in blue), the placing of the mouse cursor within
the field area changes the colour of the register in the list from blue to pink.

Object Counters
You can print a consecutive number of print on every object being labelled or at a specified interval on
long objects with the use of
incremental or decremental counters .
In order to insert the field of an incremental (decremental) counter to be updated automatically follow
the steps below:
1. In the text edit line, position the cursor in the place where you want the counter to be displayed.
Insert a font-change or other markers, if required.
2. Type in the setting for the counter: the maximum required number of digits, e.g. zeros, if the
counter is to start counting from zero. If counting is to start from a specific number, type in the
number and add leading zeros to fill in all counter positions.
