To change the text font to Double High or Large:

1. Draw the Multistate Indicator Object List.

2. Select the Double Height States option in the Configure

Multistate Indicator Object List dialog box.

3. Select Text from the Object menu, or

from the toolbox.

4. Choose the text size you want from the Format menu.

5. Click the I-beam in the Multistate Indicator Object List. The

cursor automatically appears at the top of the list. If you selected
Double Height States, and you are using the Small or Double
Wide font, the cursor can appear on the first or second line of the
object, depending on where you click.

6. Type the text. It is automatically formatted as a label, and you

cannot move the text outside the boundaries of the object.

7. With the Multistate Indicator Object List selected, select the next

state to format. Either select from the list box on the tool bar, or
choose Next State from the View menu.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to add text to the next state. Or, follow

the steps in the next section to add a graphic image.

To add a graphic image as a label:

1. Place the graphic image on the screen, and move it into the

Multistate Indicator Object List. Position the image near the top
of the object. For information on importing, placing, and moving
graphic images, see Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the
PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual.

Depending on how close to the top of the object you position the
graphic image, it may be repositioned and converted into a label
automatically.

If the selected graphic image is surrounded by solid handles, it is
still an independent graphic. If the handles are solid, go to step 2.
If the handles are hollow, it is a label.
