For this group of tutorial shots, I'm using my current cigar-band-styled label. It is on a horizontal table with the page in 'portrait'. I use only three columns and the Xyron Model 150 to stick this label onto my baby-blanket-wrapped bars.
Now it's time to finish making the "picture" text.
I've entered my text.
The following screenshots show the steps to finish the text box. The various menu options have already been used on other pages of this tutorial.
After you've entered your text, click the 'outside' box to highlight it. Then right-click and select 'Format Drawing Canvas'.
First, select the Layout Tab. Choose in front of text, just like you did here.
This allows you to move the text box into place later
The default fill color is white. Select the Colors and Lines Tab. Click on the down arrow & select 'No Fill'. This will make the background of your text box transparent.
Select Text Box Tab. If not already checked, check 'Word wrap text in AutoShape' and 'Resize AutoShape to fit text'.
Oh yeah. You need to change text direction.
Click inside the box and select your text direction
Click the text picture & CTRL-C to copy
Then click outside the table area & CTRL-V to paste. Unleash the box, then move to desired location.
I've clicked inside the box & replaced the text.
Then I adjusted the text size & resized the box to fit!
Go here to Format AutoShapeGo here to Format Text Box
After final adjustments, like text size and color, I adjusted each of my vertical dividers to my measured widths. Using the steps presented, you should now be able to edit your text to fit your desired label width!
If you
look at the top of the bar that is standing up, that is naked soap, exposed
by the wrapping method. I included two on their sides so you can see how the
label is folded around the soap.
Another shot of the band.
