Working in the Editor window
The Editor window is displayed at the beginning of the label creation process for
some labels, during the process and at the end of the process for all labels, and it is
displayed again when you open a saved label file for editing. You might think of it
as the palette upon which your labels are created and displayed.
Figure 4-1. The Editor window with label
When you create a label, you build it by creating or adding objects to it. The
system displays the objects in the Editor window in the Preview area. When
objects are displayed in the Preview area, you can move them around and make
changes to them. Objects can be text, graphics bar codes, and a variety of supplied
designs called HotShape.
In this manual, when we describe basic processes, we’ll refer to alphabetic and
numeric characters as text, and to all other objects as graphics. When we discuss
processes designed for specific objects, we’ll specifically name those objects: for
instance, Adding bar code objects on page 7-17, or Formatting text objects on
page 7-6.
The sections that follow describe the elements of the Editor window, how to
navigate inside it, and how to use its tools to perform basic editing procedures.
