[. . . ] Depending on the type of object, in its Properties window you may be able to set up a value expression or conditional filter, define leading or trailing characters, or suppress clear zones. See the sections in this chapter about each specific object for more information about its properties. Font properties With an object selected in your label design, choose Format > Font. In this window, define a font for the selected object. For example, if you select a field and change the font in this window, you will see the change on your layout. You can also select a frame, change the font in this window, and then see the fonts for all objects with font properties change in the frame. PCL Data Stream drivers must use a PCL Data Stream font. You can use one of the provided fonts located in the Fonts folder of your Label Studio installation directory, or create your own font in Label Studio (Tools > Create Data Stream fonts). Driver specific: Font properties are only available for design files using a Windows or Data Stream driver. View options Label Toolbox comes with several handy features to help you view your label designs better. Choose View from the menubar to: Preview your labels, see "Preview labels" on page 72 for more information. Zoom the label design in/out. 54 Label Studio User's Guide The Layout window Placing the fields and objects you need onto your layout is as easy as dragging and dropping from the Objects window. There are a few things, however, that you first need to know when you are working in the Layout window. Base layer vs. Label area Notice, in the example at right that there is white space at the far right edge of the label. This represents the distance between labels. Base layer (printable area) Distance between labels The lined portion of the Label area (size of the label) layout is the base layer. Your label elements will not print outside of the base layer. For more information about base layers and other layers, see "Layers" on page 57. Insertion point cross hair When moving or placing a field object (or any other linebased object) on your layout, a red cross hair appears in the upper left corner of the object. This can help you to more accurately place your field. Place the cross hair anywhere between the top and bottom borders of a line to move the object to that line. Viewing hidden information on your layout Sometimes your layout may contain a lot of fields or objects; so many, in fact, that the base layer or frame you are working in cannot show you everything on your layout. Any information that may have been squeezed out of view may still print on your label. It all depends on the size of the data in your fields or objects and the line suppression of the layer or frame. Label Toolbox signifies this "hidden" information with an arrow that points in the direction of the missing information. indicator arrows Chapter 4: Design labels 55 To simply resize your fields, see "How to resize field objects in the layout" on page 62. To view the hidden information on your base layer, you will need to temporarily change the size of your labels. Choose File > Page Setup, and click the Label Page tab to increase the label area, or click the Label Page N-up tab to decrease the number of horizontal or vertical labels.
