Create a single label with a graphic
-
Start by creating a New Document of labels. For more info, see Create a sheet of nametags or address labels.
-
Insert a graphic and then select it.
-
Go to Picture Format > Text Wrapping, and select Square. Select X to close.
-
Drag the image into position within the label. and type your text.
-
Save or print your label.
Note: To create a full sheet of labels, from your sheet with a single label, go to Mailings > Labels and select New Document again. This creates a sheet of labels with the graphic label repeated. Save or print that one, and delete the single label sheet.
You can create up to a full sheet of different labels with different graphics, just repeat each step with a different label.
This way is more involved than the previous method, but it sometimes works better on some graphic elements.
-
Follow the single label steps and create the label in the first position on the sheet.
-
Go to Mailings > Start Mail Merge.
-
Select Labels, and then select Cancel (we're not really doing a mail merge.)
-
Select Update Labels to create a full sheet of labels.
-
On one of the labels, highlight «Next Record», and press Ctrl + C.
If you see {NEXT} instead, right-click it, and select Toggle Field Codes. Then select and copy «Next Record».
-
Press Ctrl + H to open the replace dialog. You should see «Next Record» in the Find what field. If not, select the field and press Ctrl + V.
-
Clear the Replace with field if it's not empty, and select Replace All.
-
Select Close.
-
You should now have a full sheet of labels ready to print or save.
