Designing Labels

(7)COUNTRY

In this example, you can quickly create all variable text fields using a Loftware Label Manager shortcut

feature.

Select the Variable Text tool .

2. Position the cursor just beneath and to the right of the “SHIP TO:” text and click.

A default 8-character variable field is shown:

The text “12345678” is a place-holder, which shows you that the field is currently 8 characters long.The

blue boxes surrounding the field are called selection handles. They indicate that the field is selected and

may be edited by using the Properties box or mouse.

Changing the Properties of Variable Text Fields

Since fields are always selected after they are created, this is a good time to change the field's properties.

By changing the properties, you can change the appearance of the text field, as well as its font, size,

length and name. This makes them easier to identify and select.Make these changes to the field you just

created.

1. Select Field Name from the Properties box.

2. Type "Ship To Company" and press Enter.

Note: After you enter the text, Loftware Label Manager changes the name to Ship_To_Company.Spaces are

not allowed in field names, and so Loftware Label Manager adds underscores in the place of spaces.Also, note

that the Input Prompt in the Properties box is identical to the Field Name you just typed.The Input Prompt

(which is displayed on the On-Demand Print Form) usually echoes the Field Name.

The default setting for maximum number of characters in a text field is 8.Because the names of

addressees usually consist of more than 8 characters, you must edit the field to ensure that customer's

names are displayed correctly on your labels.

3. Select Max # Chars from the Properties box .

4. Type "22" and press Enter.

This allows the field to accommodate up to 22 characters of an individual's name.

Change other properties like font type and size, if needed.You now have completed your first variable

text field and your label looks like the following:
