DesignPro Starting Your Design

Overview

In this chapter, we will discuss how to begin creating or customizing your design by inserting
different types of objects. Once you have selected a template, you are ready to begin designing
or customizing your project. Create projects on the Design screen by inserting different types
of objects on the work area of the Master and Label tabs. Insert a text object to add text, a
drawing object to add lines and shapes, or a graphic object to add images, logos or clipart.

Text Objects: Inserting and Formatting Text

To add text to your design, select Insert and choose Text or Round Text or click Insert Text
or Insert Round Text
on the label template and edit mode is active. Type text in the object.
Text is displayed in a continuous line. If the text is longer than the width of the text object, the
text will wrap to the next line. For easy editing, round text will display horizontally until you
click outside of the object. Round text is then displayed in a circular design. If the text is
longer than the outer circumference of the circle, the text will overlap.
To change the text object default settings, refer to the Customizing DesignPro Settings
section in DesignPro Tools.

formatted or press Ctrl + A to select the entire text. Select Format > Character. The Font
