Understanding DesignPro
Label - The term label is used throughout the DesignPro software and this manual when
referring to a variety of Avery products. Label may represent card products, name badges,
dividers or any Avery printable product.
Template - This term refers to the software layout for an Avery product. Select an Avery
product template to begin your project, then create your design on the template in the work
area of the Design screen.
Master tab - Elements placed on the Master tab of the Design screen will appear on each
label of your project. For example, place shared information such as a background or company
logo on the Master tab. This information will then appear identically on all labels of that
project.
Label tab - Each Label tab on the Design screen (Label 1, Label 2, and so on) contains a
label template that represents the corresponding label on the Avery product sheet. Label 1
represents the first label, Label 2 represents the second label and so on.
Panel - Some Avery label templates may contain more than one panel on the Master and
Label tabs. For instance, the front and back of a greeting card will be displayed together if
they print on the same side of the sheet. The front section is one panel and the back section is
another panel.
Objects - This term refers to the boxes that contain text, shapes, and images. Insert different
objects onto the label templates of the Design screen to design your Avery product.
Handles - This term refers to the eight squares that appear on an object frame when an object
is selected.
Layer - Objects are placed in different orders within a design. For example, a text object may
be "on top of" a graphic object. The term layer is used to describe the order and placement of
objects from the front to the back of a design.
