  1. Open the problematic spec in the Page Editor in Smart Instrumentation.

  2. Save the spec page as a .psr file and then open the .psr file in InfoMaker. For details, see Open a Form Page in InfoMaker.

  3. To normalize label coordinates, do the following:

    1. Right-select the field to the right of the displaced label, and on the shortcut menu, select Properties.

    2. On the Position tab, under Y, copy the value to the Clipboard, using a standard shortcut (for example, CTRL+C).

    3. Right-select the displaced label, and on the shortcut menu, select Properties.

    4. On the Position tab, under Y, paste the Clipboard value, using a standard shortcut (for example, CTRL+V).

    SHARED Tip The value of the Height field on the Position tab can also influence the appearance of the text in Excel. You must enter a height value that is in proportion to the font size that you set in the Font tab folder.

  4. On the File menu, select Save.

    SHARED Tip You only need to perform the following steps if you want to fix displaced labels by extending an existing horizontal line above or below the displaced label. These steps deal with extending a line that runs through the right-hand and the middle column into the left-hand (categories) column. You can adapt this procedure for other configurations as well.

  5. To extend an existing horizontal line above or below the displaced label, do the following:

    1. Right-select the left-most line (vertical), and on the shortcut menu select Properties.

    2. On the Position tab, under X1, copy the value to the Clipboard, using a standard shortcut (for example, CTRL+C).

    3. Right-select the horizontal line that you want to extend, and on the shortcut menu, select Properties.

    4. On the Position tab, under X1, paste the Clipboard value, using a standard shortcut (for example, CTRL+V).

  6. Select in the main window to view your changes.

  7. On the File menu, select Save.
