The Label Wizard

The Label Wizard will allow you to quickly lay-out and design labels. Parameters include:

Portrait

Select this option if you want to print labels in "portrait" mode. This is the "normal" orientation of a printed page.

Landscape

Select this option if you want to print labels in "landscape" mode. This is the sideways orientation of a printed page.

List of Sections

Choose the area that you will be printing labels for. If you select Card File/Generic you will be required to pick a specific Database File.

Label Size - Label Width

Enter the width of the label in cm's. If you have the label or sheet of labels in front of you, you should measure its dimensions with a ruler.

Label Size - Label Height

Enter the height of the label in cm's.

Gap Between Labels - Horizontal

This is the horizontal gap or spacing between labels in cm's. If there are no gaps between labels, leave this set to zero.

Gap Between Labels - Vertical

This is the vertical gap or spacing between labels in cm's. If there are no gaps between labels, leave this set to zero.

Page Margins - Top Margin

Enter the top margin from the edge of the page where the first label begins in cm's. If for example, labels start 2 cm's in from the top of the page, enter 2 here. You cannot specify a margin that is less than the smallest printable area of the page. Due to design limitations, many printers cannot start printing at the very top edge of the page.

Page Margins - Left Margin

Enter the left margin from the edge of the page where the first label begins in cm's. If for example, labels start 2 cm's in from the left of the page, enter 2 here. You cannot specify a margin that is less than the smallest printable area of the page. Due to design limitations, many printers cannot print at the very left edge of the page.

Page Margins - Bottom Margin

The Label Wizard assumes that the entire page contains evenly spaced labels. If this is the case you do not need to specify a bottom margin. If you wish to limit the number of labels that are printed down the page, increasing the bottom margin will reduce the number of labels that can vertically fit on the page.

Page Margins - Right Margin

The Label Wizard assumes that the entire page contains evenly spaced labels. If this is the case you do not need to specify a right margin. If you wish to limit the number of labels that are printed across the page, increasing the right margin will reduce the number of labels that can horizontally fit on the page.

Number of Labels

The number of labels that can fit down and across the page are calculated and displayed here.

Fields

You can pick from the list of available fields. To position them onto your label, select the field you wish to include, and press Add to add it to the label. When you wish to move to the next line of the label, press the New Line button. To remove a line highlight it with the mouse and press the Remove button.

You can also add text messages you to your labels. To do this, press the Text Button.

When you are ready to create the label, press the Finished button.
