Layout and Rotation

o    Dimensions: The “left,” “top,” “width,” “height,” and “rotation” fields represent the dimensions of the text object on the badge. You may click the arrows to rotate the text. You may also either manually enter the desired dimensions for the text, or you can simply click on a corner of the text box and drag to increase or decrease the dimensions.

o    Word Wrap: The Word Wrap box is checked by default to avoid text breaks.

o    Best Fit: If the Word Wrap box is unchecked, the Best Fit option scales the text to fit the space.
