When you begin to make your label, you need to do page setup to adjust
your page to landscape and set your margins. "File/Page Setup..."
I push the margins beyond what MY printer is able to handle. You need
to know your printer's limitations before taking such a drastic measure. If
you choose to click "ignore," you have the potential to lose one or more
labels to truncated printing. "File/Page Setup.../Margins"
The TABLE icon allows you to select the number of horizontal (COLUMNS) and
vertical (ROWS) cells by putting your cursor in the top left box, click & HOLD
your left mouse button and drag your mouse out until you have all the rows and
columns you want.
An optional way to set up your table is by using the Table menu:
"Table/Insert/Table..."
.....and input the number of cells you want. This is also the time to set
your "AutoFit behavior". Make sure "Fixed column width" is set to "Auto."
I could optionally choose 4 ROWS and work with the page in Portrait
orientation. But with the table in ROWS, you won't be able to "flip" the text
upside down. You'll see further along how I "flip" the text. I prefer using a
single row. You will make the rest of your labels in
Multiple Labels.
