The different print templates are referred to as "Projects". Along with the actual print information, a project also contains, above all, layout specifications such as page size and orientation, fonts, colors, frames, circles, lines, graphics etc. The List & Label Designer can handle three different types of projects: Lists, labels and cards.
The individual elements of such a project are called "objects". For example, a project can contain text objects, picture objects and a report container.
The required objects are normally selected in the object list, created on the workspace with the mouse and then given the respective contents and layout properties.
The List & Label Designer provides different types of objects which you can position freely in the workspace and change the size as required.
