Defining Constant Text Overlays
A constant text overlay is a set of fixed characters that prints on
all supplies. The overlay is not a field, and does not count in
the field numbering from 1 to 30. The characters in the overlay
are fixed, and the user cannot change them. Field options do
not apply to overlays.
The constant text overlay section is in the lower left corner of
the Format Worksheet.
1. If you have not
already done so,
define the format as
shown in this
chapter.
2. Select a font style from the samples in "Defining Text
Fields."
3. Determine the height of the characters, using the table in
"Defining Text Fields." Draw two lines on your layout grid
to show the bottom and the top of the overlay.
4. Determine the maximum width of the overlay, using the
table in "Defining Text Fields." Draw two lines on the
layout grid to show the right and left sides of the overlay.
5. On the Supply Layout Grid, mark the lower left corner of
the overlay as you read it from left to right, just as you
would mark a text field. This is the
pivot point.
