What Version 7 Users
Need to Know
If you are used to working in DYMO Label software version 7.8 and earlier, this topic offers some
important information you need to know when working in DYMO Label v.8.
Upgrading to DYMO Label v.8 (Windows)
The first time you start DYMO Label v.8, the DYMO Label First Run wizard guides you through
the following procedures:
▪ Importing your settings from an earlier version of the software
Many of your previous settings can be imported; including your default font, default label file
folder, default return address, and your startup label settings. In addition, all of your Address
Books are automatically converted to the new Address Book format and copied into the new
default Address Book folder.
▪ Choosing to participate in the DYMO Product Improvement Program
▪ Registering your DYMO label printer
Upgrading to DYMO Label v.8 (Mac)
Many of your previous settings are imported when you install DYMO Label v.8. Some of the
settings that are imported from earlier versions of the software include: your default font, default
label file folder, default return address, and your startup label settings. In addition, all of your
Address Books are automatically converted to the new Address Book format and copied into the
new default Address Book folder.
Label and Tape Editors
The Label and Tape editors are combined into one editor in DYMO Label v.8. You now design tape
labels in the same manner and using the same label objects as die-cut labels.
Choosing a Label
The Label Files list in version 7 has been replaced with the Labels tab in DYMO Label v.8. On this
tab, you can choose the label type you want to use visually by shape and size. You can also choose
from several different layouts for each label. You can find your most recently printed labels by
clicking Recently Printed Labels at the bottom of the tab.
