Paste Link

Using the Paste link command establishes a link between labeling application and the source

application for the contents of the clipboard.

The link information is saved in the source file; only the location of the information in the

source file is saved. The link data shows in the graphic form.

Double clicking a Paste-link object will place you into the original source Windows

application for that object. The object is then edited in the application.

Delete

The command is used to delete selected elements. Deleted elements are not stored in the

clipboard. To restore deleted elements, the

Undo command must be used before any further

actions.

Delete command can also be activated using the Del key.

Select

This command allows you to select different objects on the label.

You can select all objects on the label, or selectively mark only objects from the same group

(i.e., all text objects, all bar code objects, all picture objects, etc).

Insert Object Menu

Insert Object

This command inserts an OLE object on the label. Two subcommands exist, to import the

document from the existing file on the disk or to create a new document from scratch.

Avoid using inserted objects on the label. This consumes a lot of memory because the server

application must be running too. The file size of the label will also increase. These are other

solutions to consider:

• Convert your objects to picture and place such picture on the label.

Note • Resizing an OLE object may not work as you expect. It is advisable to resize the

object only when in OLE edit mode (after double clicking the object).

Create from File

With this command you can insert to labels already defined objects. If the object is in a Word

file, you just select the directory and the name of the file.

Create New

With this command you can insert in a label objects from any Windows application that

supports OLE 2 interface.
