LABEL DESIGN
Text
Working with text for label design is only slightly different from working with text in a
normal document. In a document, text can be treated as a whole: formatting, layout
and design can be universal. With a label, each section of text is easier to format if
handled separately and allows for complete customizing.
Titles will have to be moved and adjusted, portions of text will have to be moved
around independently and with more detail than in a normal document. In a
document it is suffi cient to have most text single or double-spaced; in a label you may
want to move text only a few millimeters, or several centimeters.
Text Boxes
A text box may be formatted or positioned anywhere on the document. The box can
have borders and can be fi lled with different colors, or it can have no borders and be
transparent. All of these features make text boxes ideal for label creation. In MS Word
add a text box using the following steps. Click on Insert >>> Text Box.
Next, holding down the left mouse button, drag (in the document window) the square
handles on the border of the text box until it is the desired size. You can scale and
position text boxes with ease. The squares only appear after a text box is created.
While creating, the cursor is a cross.
