Label problem

[plane]

I am using PSP X7 and usually have no problem making return address labels but now I am trying to make very small ones and there is no Avery template that small in my template list. Is there a way to make one using User Defined? The labels I want are 1/2 X 1.75 inches and the smallest PSP has is 3/4 X 2 1/4.

Yes you can create your own templates, but it's a very manual process. You have to know where (in inches) each label starts.

1) Create an image the size of your labels
2) File -> Print Layout
3) Add your image to the layout and position where you want it,
You can click on the "Custom Position" button (looks like an X and Y on a grid) or Edit -> Image Placement -> Custom to position the images where you want them.
4) Add your image to the layout again and repeat until you've completed the layout
5) Hit the Save button to save it as a custom layout, give it a name.

You now have a custom layout you can use multiple times.

I will point out that layouts are actually Scripts. So it's also possible to do this in a text editor if you're used to scripting.

If you're not used to scripting, and you don't want to go through this hassel, can you tell us what Avery template you're using? Maybe one can be made for you.

The smallest template I have in PSP is Avery 8760 (.3/4 X 2.1/4) and I need Avery 8167 (1/2 X 1 3/4). Thank you for those instruction. I am going to try it.

Here is a Print Template that I think should work. I'm working on a script that will hopefully make creating new templates like this easier. We'll see.

But unzip the PSPScript file into your Print Templates folder and you should see it under the Avera category probably at the very end.

Wow, this is great! Thank you so much.
