Label
The Label tool attaches a label to a point, line, or circle. When you select an object with the Label
tool, an edit box appears in which you can enter the label text. The edit box contains pull-down
menus that allow you to specify the attributes of the text (Macintosh only).
You can also attach a label to a point immediately after it is created. This method limits text to five
characters, and you cannot edit when entering the text.
To set attribute defaults for font, size, and style of the text, use the Font , Size , and Style c*ommands
in the Options menu in the Macintosh version, or the Options/Preferences menu in the Windows
version.

of the text to be entered. Press and hold the mouse
button while pointing to the small icon boxes at the
top of the edit box.
The C , S , F , and color block ² ² change the character

Modifying a label
Move a label by dragging it to a desired location using
the Pointer tool.
You can move the label within a fixed region from the
object it labels. The label maintains its relative position
to the object throughout any changes to the object.
Edit a label by selecting it with the Label tool. An edit
box appears for editing the text. You must shade the text
that you want to modify before making changes to its
font, size, style, or color. Shade the text by dragging the
I-beam cursor ( I ) across it. Then select the appropriate
option.
Note: The DOS version lets you change the color of a
label by selecting the label, and then selecting a color
from the color palette, or by applying the Color tool.
