You can specify position values in precise increments,
depending on the current units of measure: English
(inches) or metric (millimeters).
You can change the sizes of objects on labels. DYMO
Label Software gives you the option of using the mouse to
resize objects, or, for more precision, you can specify the
exact size of an object.
Using the small black squares or Edit Handles on a
selected object to allows you to change its size. An edit
handle appears on each corner of all selected objects
except horizontal and vertical line objects, which only
have edit handles on the ends.
"
An object's size affects the size of any text within the
object.
If you reduce an object's size too much, the text inside the
object may no longer fit inside the object. The program
automatically decreases the size of the text to allow it to fit
inside the reduced object. If you want to display the text at
the original size, you need to increase the object's size, or
select Disable Shrink to Fit on the object's Properties
dialog box for the object.
You can specify the exact size of an object using the
Object Properties dialog box. The size values you specify
depend on the current units of measure. (See "Units of
Measure" on page 24 for information on selecting the units
of measure.)
The software will also prevent you from moving objects
into these areas, stopping the movement when you reach
the edge of the unprintable area.
