Client Mailing Labels General Tab

Use the General tab to select report options for client mailing labels and to save sets of options for reuse.

Vision checks the vertical and horizontal measurements in Print Setup to make sure the label format you define fits on the page size you specify. If not, Vision displays a message to notify you of the problem.

Left Margin + (Label Width x Number Across) + (Horizontal Gap x number of gaps) + right margin must be less than or equal to Page Width.

Top Margin + (Label Height x Number Down) + (Vertical Gap x number of gaps) + bottom margin must be less than or equal to Page Height.

Vision assumes that the right margin is the same as the left margin and that the bottom margin is the same as the top margin.

Field	Description
Create Activity	To create activities when you generate the report, select this check box. When you generate the report, Vision displays the Activity dialog box so you can enter the activity information. Vision then creates an activity for each record included on the report.
Type	Specify which of the following types of labels you are printing addresses on: Avery 5160 (three labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page) Avery 5161 (two labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page) Avery L7163 (two labels across on a standard 8.26" x 11.69" A4 page) User-defined (any other label format) When you select a type of label, Vision sets the other options in the Print Setup section to default measurements. If you select one of the standard types of labels, print a test page to check the alignment of the information on the labels. If the alignment is not correct, change the default measurements. If you select User-defined, take the required measurements from a sheet of labels and enter them in the Print Setup section. If you make any changes to the default settings or if you enter settings for a user-defined label, save the new measurements as a set of saved options or as a favorite, so you do not have to adjust the alignment the next time you print labels.
Top Margin	Enter the distance from the top of the page to the top of the first row of labels. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .500 for a margin of one-half inch.
Left Margin	Enter the distance from the left edge of the page to the left edge of the first column of labels. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .125 for a margin of one-eighth inch.
Vertical Gap	Enter the distance between the bottom of one row of labels and the top of the next row. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field. Enter 0.000 if there is no gap.
Horizontal Gap	Enter the distance between the right edge of one column of labels and the left edge of the next column. Enter the distance using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field. If you use inches, enter decimals for fractions. For example, enter .125 for a gap of one-eighth inch. Enter 0.000 if there is no gap.
Label Height	Enter the distance from the top edge of a label to its bottom edge, using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field.
Label Width	Enter the distance from the left edge of a label to its right edge, using the unit of measure (inches or millimeters) that you entered in the Unit of Measure field.
Number Across	Enter the number of labels in each row.
Number Down	Enter the number of rows of labels on each page.
Orientation	Select one of the following options for the orientation of the page of labels: Portrait: The horizontal dimension of the page is smaller than the vertical dimension. Landscape: The vertical dimension of the page is smaller than the horizontal dimension.
Page Size	Select the mailing label page size. The width and height of the page size that you select in this field display in the Page Width and Page Height fields. When you select the Custom size, the Page Width and Page Height fields are enabled so that you can specify the page width and height.
Page Width and Page Height	If you select a standard page size, these fields display the width and height of the page size that you select. If you set the page size to Custom, enter the page width and height in these fields. The measurements display in inches or millimeters based on your setting for the Unit of Measure field.
Unit of Measure	Select the unit of measure, inches or millimeters, to use for the measurement fields under Print Setup on this tab. When you switch from one unit of measure to the other, the measurements that are currently entered or displayed in the measurement field are automatically converted to the new unit of measure (1 inch = 25.4 millimeter).
Font Name	Select the font for the mailing labels. The font that prefills in this field is the default font that you selected in User Settings.
Font Size	Select the font size (type size) for the mailing labels.
