Block format functions
(

Formatting with the Block Format functions
enables you to change the appearance of each
of the label’s text blocks, created using the New
Block function. The following label shows how
these functions can be used together.
The multiple blocks in this label were created
using the New Block function with the first
block of this text containing a single line, the
second containing two lines, and the third, one
line. Then, different settings were applied to
each block separately, using the Block Format
functions (Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2, Line
Effects (underline/strikeout), Frame, Text Align-
ment, Block length or Text Rotation).
