Block format functions
(d + 2)
Formatting with the Block Format functions
enables 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 (Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line
Effects (underline/strikeout), Frame, Text Align-
ment, Block length or Text Rotation).
To change the Block Format functions:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor in the block that will be given a different
format.
2 Hold down d and press 2.
3 Select FONT, SIZE, WIDTH, STYLE1,
STYLE2, LINE EFFECTS, FRAME, ALIGN-
MENT, B.LENGTH or ROTATE and the
desired setting as described on pages 54
to 64. The selected setting will only be
applied to the text block that the cursor is
positioned in.
Line format functions

The Line Format functions allow you to empha-
size a single line of the text by printing it with a
Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line Effects
(underline/strikeout), Frame or Text Alignment
setting that is different from the rest of the text.
