Scaling text objects

Using <Scale> on text objects is not recommended, as it may result in the text wrapping to more or fewer lines on the label. (Resizing using the Increase/ Decrease Size tools may have the same result.) If the Auto Size Font option on the Options tab of the Text Properties screen is turned on, the text size changes as the object is scaled. See Adding and formatting text objects on page 7-4for information on Text objects.

Scaling bar codes

The size of the human-readable text does not change when you use <Scale> to resize a bar code. See Adding bar code objects on page 7-17for information.

Copying and Pasting Objects

When you copy an object, the system leaves the object in its original location, and places a copy of the object in the system’s internal memory. This lets you paste the object into another location.

To copy an object

1.Select the object using any of the methods described in Selecting Objects on page 7-25.

2.Press the <Copy> key, or use the Ctrl+C key combination.

A copy of the object is placed in the system’s internal memory. The original stays where it is.

Hint! You can delete the original object while it is still selected by pressing Delete or Ctrl+X.

To paste an object

1.Copy the object you want to paste.

2.Press Paste, or use the Ctrl+V key combination.
