The Design window is the main source of objects in the program: Address Panels, Text Fields, Text, Images, Smart Shapes.

All objects in the Design window are grouped in four tabs: Address templates, Address fields, Image collection and Handling.

Address templates tab contains the list of address panel templates. These templates differ in combination of fields and in position of fields. You can drag and drop a template on the envelope or label. You will get "To" address panel and if you have already selected the recipient, his personal data will be inserted there automatically. The panel can be switched to "From" using Format/Refers To command from the menu.The template of the selected address panel also can be changed later. For this choose the menu Format/Address Template.

Address fields tab contains the list of separate fields of adress, name and other personal information.You can drag and drop a field on the envelope or label. If you have already selected the person, his corresponding personal data will be inserted in this field automatically.

Image collection - gives access to several collections of images. There are four collections of pictures, selectable by buttons on the top of the tab: Clipart, Smart Shapes, iPhoto, Custom Folder.

• Clipart - large amount of pictures supplied with the program. Use "Clipart" dropdown list to choose image category, then scroll up or down to find a picture within the category. Another way to find a picture - search by name. You can search within the clipart or in the Internet. To select search area click "lens" button in edit box.
• Smart Shapes - collection of vector geometrical shapes.
• iPhoto library - pictures from your iPhoto folder.
• Custom Folder - images from customer-defined folder. Click Browse button and select a folder with your images. Images from this folder will be displayed in the collection window.
  Custom Folder is a suitable embedded image browser. You do not need to switch to other applications for previewing images from your hard disk. Select a folder and you will see thumbnails of images from this folder in the Design window. You can start working with the images immediately.

Handling labels - various handling signs such as "Air Mail", "FRAGILE" and other, supplied with the program. Use "Labels" drop-down list to select the label category.

Note: if you have selected an object on your label or envelope and then click on another object of the same type in the Design window, the selected object will be replaced with new one. Thus, you can replace one image with another one, or replace a smart shape with a new smart shape. The size of the old object will be preserved. If you have selected several images, all of them will be replaced.
But if a smart shape is selected, clicking on image will result in adding a new image, as these objects are of different types. Images from Image Collection, Handling Labels, iPhoto library and Custom Folder belong to one type.
