Using the Label Designer

The Label Editor allows you to easily design labels for your specific needs using a simple-to-use Label Designer. You can also modify any of the pre-designed label files included with the software.

The Designer allows you to change the appearance and content of labels. You can add or modify text (including addresses), barcodes, sequential numbers, date-time stamps, lines, rectangles, and circles or ellipses (Macintosh). The following figures are examples of custom label designs.

Starting the Designer

When the Designer is active, the Designer toolbar appears below the Formatting toolbar.

To start the Label Designer, do one of the following

Create a new label file. See "Creating a New Label" on page 4.

The Designer toolbar automatically appears.

With a label file open, click .

Design Objects

	A label created in DYMO Label Software can contain various text and design objects. Each object
	has certain attributes, such as size, position, font, and so on. You can select the attributes that you
	want in the object’s Settings dialog box. For more information on modifying object attributes, see
	the online Help.
	This section describes each of the objects available on the Designer toolbar.
Text	The text object is useful for displaying information that remains unchanged every time you print a
	new label (for example, “Hello my name is” on name badges or your return address on shipping
	labels).
	Text objects can also be used for variable text (text that changes from label to label). This is useful
	for part numbers, book titles, and many other non-address items you might save as a list in the
	Address Book. For more information on variable text, see the online Help.
