Specifying the Label Size
When you specify the label size, you not only specify to print the labels in two columns, but also to align the addresses to print one per label. In this example the label sheet is 8.5x11 inches with two columns of 4x1-inch labels. Because the default paper size is standard American letter size, you do not have to specify the paper size. If you are generating labels for paper sizes other than 8.5x11 inches, adjust the label size.
Follow these steps to specify the label size:
- Choose Properties
Record Layout. The Record Layout dialog box appears:
![]()
- Change the Records Across value to 2. This specifies that there are two columns of labels.
- Change the width dimension to 4 inches.
- Change the height dimension to 1 inch. If an address requires more than 1 inch of space, Report Builder truncates the data for that record and starts the next record at the correct position.
The Record Layout dialog box should look like this:
![]()
- Choose OK. Report Builder returns you to the report layout.
