Not necessarily. Simply select the Brand & Type, put nothing in the "Label text" box, go to the Options tab and make sure Synchronize is not checked tthen click New Document. Result - blank labels ready to file in.
Need more than one page? Before you fill in the first label do Ctrl+A and Copy. Click to the right of the last label so the cursor is blinking on the right side. Do Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+V which can be repeated page after page.
