Creating custom labels
If you don’t see the size of your labels in the pop-up menu in the Label
Setup dialog box, try to match your label dimensions with a preset type.
To do this, add the space between labels to the label width and height to
determine the horizontal and vertical pitch (the width of the left edge of
a label to the left edge of the next, and the length of the top of one label
to the top of the next).
Setting margins for labels
You can set margins that reflect the width of labels you’re printing on.
If you set a top margin, you don’t also need a header on your layout.
1. In Layout mode, choose Layout Setup from the Mode menu.
2. In the Layout Setup dialog box, select Fixed page margins, and then
type values for each margin.
3. Click OK.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
