not appear on the label.
Line Spacing: The amount of space between each line in
the paragraph. This value must be specified as a number

A value of 0 may cause printed text to be difficult to read.
A value of 2 or 3 is generally acceptable.
Word Wrap: Automatically wraps to the next line if the
last word exceeds the number of characters allowed in a
line. Without word wrap, the word is truncated and the
rest of the file lost.
Justification: Aligns the text to the field’s left margin,
right margin, to both margins, or to the center of the field.
Edit File: Displays a text box for you to edit the selected
paragraph file.
