Static text is text that will always appear on each print. To create a static text field, do the following:
1. Select
InsertÆStatic Text Field or click the Insert Static Text Field button.
2. Change the font settings using the font toolbar located at the top of the window. Any changes you
make to the font settings will affect all of the text in the text field.
3. Adjust the spacing and character width by moving the sliders to the right or left. You may have to
click the pull-down menu on the right side of the toolbar to access the spacing and character width
controls.
4. Move the location of the text field on the print template in one of two ways:
○ Drag the text field with the mouse.
○ Change the Location values in the Properties list located in the lower portion of the window.
