Pre-defined text can be highlighted automatically, with the new feature Tagged texts management accessed via the Tools menu.

Available in:� LABELVIEW Runtime, Gold & Network

Tagged texts management

Allows you to use dynamic styling, for example to highlight allergens on food industry labels.

� EU food labeling regulations (Reg. 1169/2011) require allergen risks in product ingredients to be printed in italic or bold.

� A specific font size is also required (under a minimum size, printing should not occur).

The new Tagged texts feature makes this easy to achieve.
