Help - Laser-Ready Labels
Welcome to Laser-Ready Labels. This combination of very easy
software, fonts and templates has everything you need to print
great-looking labels on laser, DeskJet and dot-matrix printers.
To get started, press a key to choose a kind of label:
1. Mailing Labels. Six sizes (33, 30, 24, 21, 20 and 14-up) are
perfect for envelopes, postcards and other addressing jobs.
2. Shipping Labels. Use 8-up or 6-up shipping labels for boxes,
large envelopes and parcels requiring a return address.
3. General Purpose Labels. Four sizes (12, 10, 9 and 6-up) fit your
"miscellaneous" labeling jobs. You type the words and Laser-
Ready Labels takes care of layout and centering.
When you're finished, press Q to quit. See the README file for
further information on using Laser-Ready Labels.

Help - Choose a File
Laser-Ready Labels stores labels in disk files. In this window,
identify the file in which your list is stored. Use these keys:
F2 Move to "File:" to type a file name. Omit the suffix and
remember to press Enter. Laser-Ready Labels automatically
appends .LRM (mailing), .LRS (shipping), or .LRG (general
purpose) to the name you type. List names can be no more than
8 characters long and must conform to DOS file naming rules.
F3 Move to "Path:" so you can change your drive and path.
Overtype the drive and path displayed, then press Enter.
F4 Move into the list of files that are in this drive and path.
Use the Arrow Keys to locate a particular file, then press
Enter. If there are more names to choose from than will fit in
the window, press PgDn and/or PgUp to see them all.
Tab Move quickly between Name, Path and List.
Press Esc to quit.

Help - Label Changes
Since you've altered the contents of this label, tell Laser-
Ready Labels what to do with your changes:
1. Yes, Keep Changes. Retain the label's new contents.
2. No, Lose Changes. Restore the contents as they were before you
began editing.

and body (remaining lines) within each label's left and right
edges.
2. Center Title Only. Center the title and left-justify the body.
3. No Centering. Left-justify both the title and body.
To compensate for blank lines at the end of a label, Laser-
Ready Labels always centers labels vertically. That is, each
label is adjusted downward one-half line per blank line at
the end of the label.

first line as a last name. Here's how four labels would be sorted:

to longer names and addresses.
3. LR-Times, First Line Bold. Like choice 2, but prints the first
line of each label (usually the addressee's name) in bold.
