Tagged texts management Pre-defined text can be highlighted automatically, with the new feature Tagged texts management accessed via the Tools menu. Available in: LABELVIEW Runtime, Gold & Network
Tagged texts Example Allows you to use dynamic styling, for example to highlight allergens on food industry labels. EU food labeling regulations (Reg. 1169/2011) require allergen risks in product ingredients to be printed in italic or bold. A specific font size is also required (under a minimum size, printing should not occur). The new Tagged texts feature makes this easy to achieve.
Tagged texts Example
