Body | The Text Properties Panel in Text LabelsThe Text Properties panel allows configuring font, font size, color, font style, repeat lines to fill, expand/condense text, line spacing, underline 6 and 9 and text alignment. The settings will default to last used settings.Considerations:
- Each line in Text Labels can only use one set of text properties. You cannot have one word bold and the other words not on one line. You cannot put both Static text (like the word "Part" to be the same on every label) and Variable text (imported data or a sequence serialization) that changes on every label, on the same line.
- As of the Brady Workstation winter '21 release, settings on the DOCUMENT tab control the layout (number of lines per label, font size, and so on) for all labels in the file. Exceptions for individual lines of text can be made on the properties tab for that object.
- Consider creating a Profile if you want your new label file to always use specific text & formatting settings; or different settings per line: How to Create Profiles (default text settings) in the Text Labels application. You can have profiles for different label parts, customers or layouts.
The document tab provides settings to control how text should appear on every line of the label.  Settings in the Text tab control how text is formatted for an individual line. The Text tab is accessed by clicking into a field on your label.  Label PropertiesAny change to Label Properties does not automatically apply. Select Apply to apply the changes to the label.
You may received a message pop-up if the changes to label properties will result in a loss of labels or overwrite unique settings. Messages will vary. Select OK to apply the changes.  Font TypeThese options include any font type installed on your Windows PC. Additional fonts can be added by installing them to your Windows operating system: How to Add Fonts to Brady Workstation.

Line CountSets the number of lines per label. Line Count has a maximum of 140, but this depends on the label size, font, and text on the label.
