Labels!

[JohnnyAce]

I know there's a few threads on Labels knocking around on here but they don't answer what I'm looking for

I've got labels & a printer capable of printing labels, but what I what to know is how do you go about designing the labels? Is it just in Paint or something or some sort of software?

I just use Excel.
Cells for writing info etc. Can pull in photos or clip art / backgrounds etc.

Even more simple, go ghetto with masking tape like trav [emoji23]

So I've bodged together a pretty crappy looking label in Word, the problem is getting it to print as a label

Usually, I highlight what I want in the label, go to Mailings & labels & it's there to edit & print

If you're copying by clicking with your mouse and dragging it, that can mess with the formatting. Try copying your label in word by pressing Ctrl+A to select all then Ctrl+C to copy then open mailings, create your new document then press Ctrl+V and it should appear in the correct format and be ready for any editing, moving or resizing.

Ps; it's a damn site easier just to buy some blank labels that are listed within mailings!! Word will do all the hard work for you! I use Avery 3489.

Good luck!

Cheers man, yeah it's the Avery labels I use, I use them for mail at work. I'd used Word & a clipart banner I just couldn't get the thing into Mailings but I'll try what you said!!
