About Properties
Loftware Label Manager subtracts the number of characters in the field (6) from the Max # Chars, (22),
and divides the remainder (16) by 2 (8). Thus, in this case, the field is printed with 8 spaces, followed by
the Ship_To_Name (6 letters), followed by 8 more spaces. The Ship_To_Name is centered precisely in
the field. This works great if the result of the subtraction of the Max # Chars from the number of
characters in the field is an even number. However, if the result of the subtraction is an odd number,
then the division by 2 results in a remainder. Since Loftware Label Manager does not adjust text in half-
space increments, an odd number creates a centered field that is one space off. The next figure displays
the printed results of two labels with an odd and an even number of characters.

Note: The information in the field is not shown as centered when displayed in Print Preview; however, it does
print as specified.
More about Centering
The centering of text is dependent upon the type of font chosen, and the printer you are using. Some
fonts are Proportional, while others are Monospace.
