Modifying a Sample Layout
You can create a layout that suits your needs by starting with a sample layout that is close
to what you want. After you select a layout to start from, you can modify the objects that
already appear on the layout, add additional objects that you want on your label, and make
any other desired changes.
To modify an existing layout
1. Select the Labels tab.
2. Select the label type you want to use, and then select the sample layout that most
closely matches how you want your layout to look.
3. Make any changes that you want to the objects in the layout.
4. Add and modify any other objects that you want.
5. Save your layout.
You can edit the text in an Address or Text object at any time. However, you must
have the Insert tab selected to make any other modifications to an object.
Saving a Layout
You can save your custom designed layouts for later use. Once you save a layout, that
layout appears as one of the available layouts each time you select the same label type from
the Label Types tab.
To save a layout
1. Design your custom layout.
2. Choose Save as Layout from the File menu.
The Save As dialog box appears.
3. Enter a name for the layout in the File name box and click Save .
The layout is now available from the Label Types tab.
Adding Design Objects
You create your own label layout by adding design objects to a label.
Each piece of information on a label is a separate object. For example, the logo is an Image
object, the return address is a Text object, the recipient's address is an Address object, and
so on.
