Editing Text Labels

Let?s edit some group Labels for the English language (see above screenshot). Just select the empty field beneath the ?Text? type combobox for each Group and type in a Name, up to 14 characters. The "Text" combobox may also contain other options, but we'll come to those later.

It all depends upon which characters you use. The width of each character is different so if you use skinny characters such as "l" and "i" then you'll be able to fit more characters. Using wide characters such as "W" and "M" take up more space.

so i have to know the total pixel size of the text string - or between 9 and 14 chars is the answer

Between 9 and 14 chars is the answer.

Of course if you really want to fit in more characters you can create a Dynamic Icon where you've got the freedom to download whatever you choose, so you can create a bitmap with itty-bitty text and lots of characters if you want.

 

It's in the S.E.P. field
