Label control

Label controls (freehand text boxes) can be inserted by pressing the Label tool. To edit the text, use the Caption property. The text entered will auto wrap to fit within the confines of the Label control. CTRL+ENTER can be used to force a new line within the text. The formatting of text, font, size, color, etc., is applied to the whole of the text held in the Label control.

How to embed variables

The browse button after the Caption property can be used to select an attribute or variable and have it pasted into the text box at the current insertion point. It will appear enclosed in { } as an embedded variable. You can also type in the names of objects manually and enclose them in curly brackets - however, you must take care to avoid typing mistakes that could lead to run time errors.
