To creating a label layout:
Select Labels from the Tools menu to open the Labels Setup dialog box.
Click on the arrow to the right of the Standard labels box to display the full list of pre-defined labels.
Select the appropriate label type by clicking on it (if there isn’t one, you can create your own through Custom - see below). Note that as you select a particular label settings in the rest of the dialog will change automatically to reflect the features of the chosen label type e.g. Label Size, Gap between labels, Number of labels per page.
Select the Enable labels checkbox. This instructs Ability to go into labels mode, hence enabling it to print more than one label per page.
If you want more than one copy of a label - for instance, a whole page of identical labels - then type a value into the Copies box. Depending on the label type, this should be an exact multiple of the number of labels per page e.g. if the label type allows 8 labels per page, then set Copies at 8, 16, 24, and so on.
Click on the Border around labels checkbox if you want to demarcate your labels with a border.
Next, click on OK when you have finished with label setup.
The page is redrawn to show the dimensions of a single label and is ready for you to enter text and other items.
Type the name and address (or other information) that you want to see on the label.
Click on the Print Preview button to see how the labels will look on the page.
If you are satisfied, you can print the labels by clicking on the Print button and then clicking on OK in the Print dialog box.
Note that if you create a second label (press Control-Return on the keyboard to do this) Ability creates the relevant number of copies for the first label followed by the same number for the second label. You can create as many different labels as you like in this way.
Note that you can insert various objects into a label apart from text, for example, a WriteFX text effects object or a picture (this may be a logo, for instance, that you’ve already designed in Ability Photopaint).
