The
Auto format
function makes creating labels quick and easy. After simply selecting one of
the various pre-formatted layouts and typing text into each of its fields, the overall style of the
label can easily be changed by selecting one of the 7 available style formats, and then the
label is ready to be printed. The many layouts available allow you to create labels for a variety
of needs—from addressing envelopes to identifying floppy disks or audio and video cassettes.
