Printing labels and envelopes
You can create layouts for formatting and printing data onto mailing labels and
envelopes. The process for printing envelopes is similar to that for printing
labels.
You use the New Layout/Report assistant to create a Labels layout that
includes data from the fields you choose, arranged to print on many types of
label stock (for example, Avery 4014). FileMaker
Pro provides the dimensions
of numerous standard label types and their codes. If the label type you want
isn't available, you can specify custom label dimensions.
Labels layouts use merge fields, which are placeholder fields for displaying
and printing only; you can’t enter data into merge fields. Merge fields expand
and contract to fit the data in the field as needed, closing up space if the field is
empty.
