To set the location of an object
The advantage to using the options on the Size and Location tab to set the location
for an object is that you can choose a precise location. This is useful for laying out
complex labels, or when you want to line up multiple objects on a label.
To set location, think of the screen as a grid with the origin of 0,0 at the upper left
corner of the printable area of the label.
For example, if you set the Left field to two inches and the Top field to one
inch, the object prints two inches from the left of the label and one inch from the
top of the label.
Note: If you previously rotated an object, the Location options are not available.
