Address Labels Page Design Tab¶
The Page Design page appears when you create a new report or modify an existing report. Use these options on the Page Design page to customize the size and arrangement of labels on this Address Labels report:
Label Layout Options¶
Avery label number¶
Address labels are formatted for printing on laser or ink jet printer label sheets. If you're using Avery brand label sheets, or label sheets that list the comparable Avery stock number, select the stock number of the label sheets you intend to print on. If you do not know the stock number of your labels, or your stock number is not listed, choose Unknown or different brand. Stock number 5160 is usually appropriate for the most commonly used sheet fed labels (3 labels across by 10 labels high).
Font name¶
Choose the font you want to use for the text on your labels.
Font size¶
Choose the font size in points for the font used on your labels.
Fit to label¶
Depending on the size of label you're printing to, the font size you choose, and the amount of text to be printed on a particular label, it is possible that some text may extend beyond the right edge of the label. Normally, text that will not fit on a label is truncated to prevent it from overprinting the adjacent label.
Check this option if you want the report to attempt to make all of the text fit on the label. It does this by choosing a smaller font size for the labels where the text is too wide. Note that in some cases, the label text could still be too wide even at the smallest legible font. In these cases the excess text is still truncated.
Margin around edge of individual labels¶
Your labels can include a small margin around the edge of each label. Enter the size you want this margin to be, in inches (or fraction of an inch). For example, enter 0.1 if you want a margin that is 1/10th of an inch wide. This margin appears along all four sides of your labels.
What style of label sheet will you print on?¶
The following Page Design options appear only if you choose Unknown or different brand in the Avery stock number field. You can use these options to tailor your report to fit the dimensions and layout of the label sheets you intend to print on.

How many labels are in each row across the page?¶
Enter the number of labels there are in each row across the page.
How many labels are in each column down the page?¶
Enter the number of labels there are in each column down the page.
Side margin¶
Enter, in inches (or fraction of an inch), the width of the margin between the left edge of the sheet and the first column of labels.
Top margin¶
Enter, in inches (or fraction of an inch), the height of the margin between the top edge of the sheet and the top of the first row of labels.
Margin between label columns:¶
If your label sheets have more than one column of labels, enter, in inches (or fraction of an inch), the width of the margin between each column of labels. If there is no space between columns, enter zero.
Margin between label rows¶
Enter, in inches (or fraction of an inch), the height of the margin between each row of labels. If there is no space between rows, enter zero.
Bottom margin¶
Enter, in inches (or fraction of an inch), the height of the margin between the bottom edge of the sheet, and the bottom of the last row of labels.
