l

Font Style buttons: Allow you to change the style of the selected font (bold, italic,
underline).

l

Horizontal Justification buttons: Allow you to horizontally left-justify, center, or
right-justify your text objects (and some bar codes) within their bounding boxes
(that is, the adjustable invisible box within which the text resides).

l

Vertical Justification buttons: Allow you to vertically top-justify, center, or bottom-
justify your text objects (and some bar codes) within their bounding boxes.

Attributes Bar

The attributes bar provides quick mouse access to color and line weight settings, and
access to data fields or expressions that are linked to dynamic text objects, bar codes,
and image keylines.

l

Line Attribute lists: Allows you to select the color and weight (thickness) of lines
and borders around drawing, text and image objects. You can also select Border
Text from the Line color list.

l

Fill Color list: Allows you to select the color for fills (solid colors that are used to
“fill” shapes).

l

Text Color list: Allows you to select the color for text.

l

Data Field List: Allows you to link dynamic text objects, bar codes, and image
keylines to data fields or expressions. For example, linking a dynamic text object to
the First_Name field in the database results in “First_Name” appearing on the card
design (in whatever font and size you select). This is replaced by the cardholder’s
first name (in your specified font and size) when the ID card is printed.

Design Window

The Design Window area of the workspace is where you design card templates. When a
new file is created, the software opens a Design Window for the front of the card layout.
The back of the card can be viewed at any time by selecting the View menu, and clicking
'Show Back of Layout', or by clicking Flip Layout on the toolbar.
