Setup - step by step

Most seen on customers screenshots:  Text not fit properly!
Different screen resolutions results in different text sizes. You need to adjust the Compass size to fit the text inside the textplate:

1. Go to Options > Edit > Size

2. Resize till text matches textplate horizontally

3. After resizing, use Text height buttons to center the text vertically
