Rotating Objects

You can rotate objects individually or simultaneously.
Shape objects cannot be rotated.
To rotate an object
1. Select the object you want to rotate.
2. From the Layout menu, point to Rotate Object, and then choose an amount to rotate
the object.
Resizing Objects
You can resize an object to the size of another object on your label. The objects are resized
based on the size of the first selected object. For example, if you have a Text object, a line
object, and an Image object and you want to resize the Text and line objects to be the same
size as the Image object, select the Image object first, followed by the other two objects.
You can edit the text in an Address or Text object at any time. However, you must
have the Insert tab selected to make any other modifications to an object.
To resize objects
1. Select the objects that you want to resize.
2. Choose Resize Objects from the Layout menu.
3. Select the width and height options that you want to apply.
4. Click OK.
The objects are resized according to your selections.
To resize a single object, select the object and drag a handle on the bounding box.
