[Solved] How to create a custom template for labels

Post by guyandrewdawson »

Is there any way to simply create a template for labels? Given that the vast majority of label sheets are stock stationery sizes containing a grid of labels, this should only require a handful of parameters.

So the trick is to ignore the Labels tab of the Labels property sheet, and use the Format tab instead.
