Creating Custom Labels

If the type of labels that you want to use is not already set up in CaseView, you can create your own custom labels.

  1. Double-click the labels document to launch CaseView.
  2. Click View | Enable Editing (to use the Edit Mode)

    OR

    Click View | Design Mode.

    These are the modes in which editing of document appearances is possible.

  3. On the Tools menu, click Labels.

  4. In the Label products box, select Custom….

  5. Click the Custom button.

  6. In the Label Settings dialog, specify the custom settings for the label document, and click OK.

  7. Compare the label dimensions and the number of labels across and down to the labels you are using.

  8. Adjust the dimensions and label layout to match those of your labels. The Reference section of the dialog illustrates how to measure for the required settings.

    Note: Measure the labels carefully. The actual label size might be smaller than the size indicated by the label manufacturer. For example, a 1-by-2-inch label might actually be 15/16-inch high and 1-15/16-inches wide.

  9. Click OK to return to the label dialog.
  10. As needed, increase or decrease the amount of white space around the text of the label by adjusting the Label top and side margins.
  11. Click OK.

Tip

  • The Label dialog is also accessible by clicking the File menu | Page Setup, and then clicking the Label button.
