Links
On the screen this command shows a list of all links between the active label and other
applications in your working environment. When you insert an object on the label with the
Paste Link command, you will see this link in the list.
The links can be interrupted. This means that the changes made in the source document will
not be made on the label.
Show Objects
The command shows all inserted objects:
• If the object is linked, the object is marked with a dotted line.
• If the object is inserted, the object is marked with a solid line.
The purpose of this command is to separate objects created on the label from those linked to
other applications.
View Menu
Normal View
Selects normal label view.
In this view type, variables are shown on screen as a series of question marks (?). The number
of question marks corresponds to the variable length. Use this view to precisely position the
elements on the label as you know their maximal possible length.
Data View
Selects the data label view.
The variable elements are shown as they will appear when printed. For example, counters will
show numbers and database variables will show data that is obtained from database.
When using data view printing starts at the record currently shown on the screen and not at the
beginning of the database. Be careful when printing records from a database. If you want to
print labels from the first record, make sure the first record is shown on the label.
Note • Databases are locked if you are using data view and variables from these databases. An
already opened database cannot be simultaneously used in another program. You cannot
change the structure of the database and alter its records, if using data view.
Zoom In
Zoom in command shows a smaller section of the label. The + (Plus) key on the numeric
keypad can also be used. Each time Zoom in is selected and you click once on the label, the
displayed picture becomes 10% larger.
