The preview area

When you create a label, you build it by adding objects to it. You view the objects on the Editor window in the Preview area. The system displays the objects in the Preview area, shown in Figure 4-1, as you work. The Preview area also reflects the size of the tape supply you have installed, and color (if you have a color display) of the tape you have in the machine.

After you add an object or change an object, the system returns you to the Editor window.

The Editor window toolbar

Figure 4-2. The standard Editor window toolbar

zTouch it on the screen.

Move the cursor with the mouse, then click the left mouse button.

Some tools are active at all times, such as Zoom In and Zoom Out, and others have no effect unless you have selected an object (such as Increase Size or Decrease Size) or unless you have already performed some action (such as Undo).
