Subject: Re: [Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: how to create labels with or withouta
graphic " was Tech Chats

Hello all,
since tech chat might not come for a while I did a bit of research 
I have word 2010 and used help to get the information pasted in below. 
I tried to copy the web address but it would not work in help. 

The answers to recent questions are:
Yes you can create a single label. Yes, you can create a sheet of labels.
Yes, you can add graphics
and clipart to labels.
The question I don't know is how speech friendly the graphics are to access.
Also I would suppose
that sizing the graphic to fit on the label might be difficult. I do know
that selecting colors to
print is difficult at this point.
In order to print any kind of labels you need to purchase a sheet of labels
that go into your
printer just like paper. The labels come stuck to the sheet and can easily
be pulled off and  stuck
on to envelopes or where ever  you want to place them.  I have printed
address labels to send a
newsletter  to members of my garden club as well as return address labels.
But I do not have a
color printer and never attempted to add a graphic.

So save this info if you are interested.

Make a label or a sheet of the same labels
 Show All
This information applies to creating an individual label or a sheet of
identical labels. For
example, you can print a single label for a mailing address, file folder, or
CD case, or you can
create a sheet of identical labels, such as return address labels. 
Print a single label
1.	Start Microsoft Word. 
A blank document opens by default. Leave it open. If you close it, the
commands in the next step
are not available.
2.	On the Mailings tab, in the Create group, click Labels.

3.	In the Address box, type the text that you want. 
If you want to create a label for an address that is stored in the
electronic address book that is
installed on your computer, click Insert Address  .
4.	To change the formatting, select the text, right-click the selected
text, and then click
Font or Paragraph on the shortcut menu.
5.	To select the label type and other options, click Options.
6.	In the Label Options dialog box, make your choices, and then click
OK.

measurements and how many
labels fit on a single sheet. 
2.	In the Product number list, click a label type that is similar in
size to your labels. 
3.	Click Details, and then compare the label dimensions and the number
of labels per sheet
(for labels printed on laser and ink-jet printers) or the number of columns
on the label form (for
labels printed on dot-matrix printers).
4.	Do one of the following: 
.	If the dimensions and label layout match those of your labels, use
the selected label.
.	If the dimensions and layout do not match yours, click Cancel, and
continue to step 5.
5.	In the Label Options dialog box, click the printer type (either
Continuous-feed printers or
Page printers), and then click New Label.

margins, and other options for
your label, and then click OK. 
7.	After you select the options that you want, click OK.

enter the numbers that
match the numbers of rows and columns on the label sheet for the label that
you want to print.

8.	Under Print, click Full page of the same label.
9.	Do one of the following:
.	To send the labels directly to the printer without previewing them,
click Print. 
.	To preview the labels so that you can edit them or add graphics to
them and save them in a
reusable document, click New Document.
Word creates a document that contains the sheet of labels. Word uses a table
to lay out the labels.
If you don't see lines separating the labels, click the Layout tab under
Table Tools, and then in
the Table group, click View Gridlines.
You can make any changes that you want to each label, including changes to
the text formatting and
color scheme, just as you would with the content of any table in Word. When
you finish, save or
print the labels the same way that you save or print any document in Word.
Add a graphic to labels
If you want to add a graphic to labels that you are printing on a page
printer (rather than a
continuous-feed printer), you must add it to each label. 
1.	Position the cursor where you want to place the graphic.
2.	On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture or Clip
Art.

3.	Locate the graphic, and then double-click it.
4.	If you need to resize the graphic, select it and then drag a corner
sizing handle to the
size that you want. Dragging a corner handle maintains the height-to-width
ratio.
5.	If the graphic does not align with the label text, right-click the
graphic and do the
following:
1.	Point to Wrap Text, and then click More Layout Options.
2.	Click the Text Wrapping tab, and under Wrapping style, click Square.
3.	Click the Position tab, and under Horizontal, click Alignment, and
then click the alignment
that you want: Left, Centered, or Right.
4.	Click OK.
6.	To add the graphic to each label, select the graphic, press CTRL+C.
7.	In the next label on the sheet, place the cursor where you want the
graphic and press
CTRL+V.
8.	Repeat the previous step for each label on the
