To access the options for label formats, proceed as follows:
- On the Tools menu, click Options and Settings.
- Under Labels, click Template.

- First select the measurement unit you want to use to specify dimensions.
- Specify the top margin (the top margin is the space between the top edge of the sheet and the top edge of the first label) and side margins (the side margin is the space between the left side of the sheet and the left side of the first label.)
- Specify the vertical pitch (vertical pitch is the space between the top edge of a label and the top edge of the label beneath it) and horizontal pitch (horizontal pitch is the space between the left edge of a label and the left edge of the label to its right).
- Specify the height and width of the label.
- Indicate the number of labels (horizontal and vertical) on the page.
- If you want to cancel the changes, click Reset All to restore the selected format’s initial settings.
