Create a single label with a graphic

1. Start by creating a New Document of labels. For more info, see Create a sheet of nametags or address labels.

2. Insert a graphic and then select it.

3. Go to Picture Format > Text Wrapping, and select Square. Select X to close.

4. Drag the image into position within the label. and type your text.

5. 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.

1. Follow the single label steps and create the label in the first position on the sheet.

2. Go to Mailings > Start Mail Merge.

3. Select Labels, and then select Cancel (we're not really doing a mail merge.)

4. Select Update Labels to create a full sheet of labels.

5. 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».

6. 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.

7. Clear the Replace with field if it's not empty, and select Replace All.

8. Select Close.

9. You should now have a full sheet of labels ready to print or save.

This technique is a little tricky, but it allows you to create a single label with your text and graphics in the row 1, col 1 position, then multiply it to the whole page. It also lets you do more extensive formatting and editing on the label than the first procedure allows.

1. Follow the single label steps and create the label in the first position on the sheet.

2. Go to Mailings > Start Mail Merge.

3. Select Labels, and then select Cancel (we're not really doing a mail merge.)

4. Select Update Labels. This creates a full sheet of labels.

   If you see {NEXT} instead, right-click it, and select Toggle Field Codes. Then select and copy «Next Record».

6. 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.

7. Clear the Replace with field if it's not empty, and select Replace All.

8. Select Close.

9. You should now have a full sheet of labels ready to print or save.
