Saving and Loading Setup Data
The Label Editor saves the current setup when it exits and reloads this setup when next
started.
However, you can save the current setup to a file using the Save Setup command and
reload a previously saved setup using the Load Setup command.
This function is useful if you are creating labels for two or more different types of scales which
have different setups.
Load Text Table
Astra only. Loads the text corresponding to each text table ID from a text file.
