Create a Label Template

Labels can be created either using the Label Wizard or manually using the Create New Label Template. However, the Label Wizard does not allow you to create a Template for future use. To do that the Create New label Template option needs to be used.
 
When you need to print out labels, for example, address labels you need to purchase the appropriate paper. Every supplier will provide it's own specific label size or label position within a paper sheet. When creating labels the details of the labels purchased will need to be entered into the Label Setup. There is usually a picture with this information on the packet like that below.
