The layout window appears after P-touch Editor starts and you select the type of layout from the 
layout selection dialog box. Some of the most commonly used features of the layout window are 
described below. We will be using these features in the examples in the following sections.

The property dock contains the Print, Page, Text, Layout and Database property boxes for setting 
the font, format, etc. Click on the buttons at the left of the dock to display and close the 
corresponding property box.

3. Draw toolbar

Provides tools for drawing graphics on the label.

The layout work area displays the label and imported objects as you edit the label contents.

The object dock contains icons for quick access to functions for adding text, graphics, tables, 
frames and other decorative objects to the label.
