• Add-ins to print directly from the following programs:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Outlook (Windows only)
Palm Desktop (Windows only)
WordPerfect (Windows only)
• A Smart Paste function allowing you to automatically print multiple labels by copying text
from other applications directly into the current label (see page 19)
