Moving and Resizing Objects

19

You can change the sizes of objects on labels. DYMO 
Label Software gives you the option of using the mouse to 
resize objects, or, for more precision, you can specify the 
exact size of an object. 

You can use the small black squares or Edit Handles on a 
selected object to change its size. An edit handle appears 
on each corner of all selected objects except horizontal and 
vertical line objects, which only have edit handles on the 
ends.

If you reduce an object’s size too much, the text inside the 
object may no longer fit inside the object. The program 
automatically decreases the size of the text to allow it to fit 
inside the reduced object. If you want to display the text at 
the original size, you need to increase the object’s size, or 
select Disable Shrink to Fit on the object’s Properties 
dialog box for the object.

You can specify the exact size of an object using the 
Object Properties dialog box. The size values you specify 
depend on the current units of measure. (See "Units of 
Measure" on page 30 for information on the units of 
measure.)

As with most printers, there is a narrow border around the 
edige of each label in which your LabelWriter cannot 
print. If you try to move or place an object within this 
unprintable area, the pointer will appear as a circle with a 
slash until you move it to the printable area of the label. 

The software will also prevent you from moving objects 
into these areas, stopping the movement when you reach 
the edge of the unprintable area.
