Block format functions

Formatting with the Block format functions ena-
bles you to change the appearance of each of
the label’s text blocks, created using the New
Block function. The following label shows how
these functions can be used together.
The multiple blocks in this label were created
using the New Block function with the first block
of this text containing a single line, the second
containing two lines, and the third, one line.
Then, different settings were applied to each
block separately, using the Block format functions
