Creating a Series of Labels

You can automatically generate labels by creating a

increment and count for the series.

You can serialize any number or letter by selecting the 
character to be incremented, such as the number 2 in 
123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, when the 2 is 
selected in 123 and the increment is 3, the resulting labels 
would print as 123, 153, 183, and so on.

Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z, and 
numbers from 0 to 9. When the letter Z or the number 9 is 
reached during serialization, a letter or number is added 
to increase the increment. For example, Az increments to 
Aaa, AZ increments to BA, and A9 increments to A10.
