this chapter.
Using Labels layouts
To set up a Labels layout, you can:
1 choose from many preset label sizes. Match the number on your label
stock with an option in the label measurements list in the Label Setup
dialog box. When you choose a label type, FileMaker Pro prepares a
layout based on the preset dimensions.
1 specify your own label dimensions. Measure your labels and match
them to the dimensions of a preset label type. If you use label stock that
doesn’t match a label type, set custom measurements for your labels.
Important Use a Labels layout only to arrange and print data in a format
suitable for labels. Labels layouts do not use fields, they use a special
format of text surrounded by angle brackets (<< >>). Because of this,
you can’t add data to a database file using a Labels layout. To add data,
use a different layout type.
