Properties for Paragraph Text Fields
Loftware Label Manager's paragraph text field supports variable text fields. Loftware Label Manager
parses data input at print time, automatically splits, and justifies the text at appropriate word breaks.
This is useful for warning messages coming from a file or database that you want to automatically wrap
to the next line(s).
Paragraph text fields maintain the same set of field attributes supported by traditional Loftware Label
Manager text fields:
l Rotation
l Max # characters
l Position
