>If I wanted to make a label formatted in an Avery label that is not listed in the label designer what can I do? I tried calling Avery but all they can offer is the exact dimensions of the layout. I wouldn't even know what to do with them. I was hoping for something I can load into a table, like the Avery list that came with the VFP5.0 I'm using. Does anyone have experience with this?
Even if VFP shows the correct label format, I've found they have to be tweaked a little anyway. Pick the one that's closest to the number of labels and dimensions you have and start from there. I print out test sheets on plain paper so I don't waste a lot of labels. Start by changing the size of the page header band until the top of the first row of labels start in the correct place. Then, you may need to change the size of the detail band if it doesn't accommodate your labels properly, or the printing creeps up or down the labels as it prints down the page.
