Cutting out variable text objects
You might use variable text cut out objects to create and cut out the labels you
create for names in a list of names, or to cut out a series of numbers you want to use
for marking items. (See Adding variable text objects on page 7-10 for more
information.)
To cut out variable text objects
1. After selecting the Cut out object option on the Insert Objects screen, choose
Variable text.
2. You’ll see the Data Source screen (shown in Figure 7-6 on page 7-11). Choose:
• Sequence to create Sequential labels, with variable text objects consisting
of increasing or decreasing numbers or alphabetic letters. Refer to
Creating
sequential labels on page 7-11.
• Text list to create Text list labels, with variable text objects consisting of a
list of items you create. Refer to
Creating text list labels - 7-14.
3. When the creation sequence is complete and you are back in the Editor
window, choose Print to process the labels and cut out the variable text objects.

Not all graphic objects may be specified as cut out objects. The system offers only
graphics suitable for cutting out when you choose the Graphics button on the
Insert Object screen, and does not allow you to specify a graphic object as a cut
out object if it is not suitable for cutting out.
