The object that varies with each group of labels is called a variable text object. Variable text can consist of either Sequence (numerical or alphabetical characters sequentially added to a group of labels) or a Text list (such as names of items) data.

The first step in creating labels with variable text is to choose a data source for the labels.

Choosing a data source

From the Insert Object screen (Figure 7-2), select the Variable Text button. The Data Source screen displays.

or alphabetic letters

 

 

Text list

Data consisting of a list of items you create

 

 

Creating sequential labels

To create sequential labels, choose Sequence on the Data Source screen.
