Inserting text fields and tab stops

If you do not need a table for the desired information, you can also use a simple text field with separate paragraphs and tab stops between the information.

1. When you have inserted a text field and a paragraph, open the Text tab in the Edit Text dialog.

2. Enter the desired text in the input field above and click the <Tab> button.

3. In the dialog, select the Decimal tab option and specify a position, such as "70 mm".

   
   

   

   
   

4. Click the <Insert> button to use the text.

   Tab stops in the text are indicated by the symbol ÷.

   To align the second part of each paragraph consistently, you must set the same tab stop in each paragraph.

   Note
   	You can use only one tab stop per paragraph.

5. Insert the variables in the Data and Functions tab.

   Paragraphs are displayed with tab stops in the Paragraph Properties dialog.

   
   

   

   
   

6. Confirm with <OK>.

7. If necessary, resize the text field using the anchor points on the object frame.
