NNA01 – Round Stamp Manual

Auto Layout – Adding a New Style
The style number is the State Code plus the Group Code (example ARRS, Arkansas + Round Self-Inking). It’s easier to use the (C)opy option to add a new style (see bottom of screen below).

This is an example of a round notary that includes a graphic (Ohio). The ” – notary public” below adds the next to the end of the text line from the NNA system. The NNA system can only add text to the beginning.
