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.
