The problem is my label runs at an angle so what I get is [img]https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/10000.JPG[/img][img] and what I want is as shown for - [img]https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/100000.JPG[/img] The difference between them is as below: if you look at the properties for each label [img]https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/10000wo.JPG[/img] and [img]https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/100000wo.JPG[/img] In the first image the whole label is white-out background. In the second the font/text itself has a white-out background. Now there are script commands to apply italics, superscripts, underline etc to the text but I can't find any to apply the whiteout to the background. I don't really want to do this manually all the time and the text needs to align itself with an angled line so the full label white-out is not ideal. Does anyone have any solutions?
