View (simulate) your message to see
exactly how it will appear on a sign.
You can see how fonts, colors, and
graphics will appear on a sign and
also how much text will appear on a
line. (If text appears in white, this
means it is too long to fit on the
display. If possible, break the text

For example, these pictures show
how the message you just created
would appear on a one-line Alpha®

Name the Example 1 message Alpha1.msw.
Make sure the file is saved
to this folder.
