Adding Text to a Label
Follow these steps to add text to a label layout.
- Move the cursor to the first curly brace ( { ) in line 7.
- Press MODE to toggle to the Insert mode, so that you will not type over existing information.
The Insert mode indicator appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. Note that there is no mode indicator for the Overstrike mode:
![]()
- Type Attn: followed by two spaces, then press GO to insert the changes into the label layout.
This places Attn: before the contact’s name on the label:
![]()
- Run the labels on your terminal.
The following labels appear on your screen:
![]()
You can add as much text to the labels as you want. Just be sure that you leave enough room on each line for the field information. Text does not wrap onto the next line if you include a field with a long format on a line with text.
Notice that even though you set the Omit Blank Lines option to yes, Results did not remove the blank line between the address and the contact’s name. That is because that option does not affect any blank lines you leave in the layout. It only omits lines where all the field information for the line is missing. For example, it omits the line reserved for Address2 information when the line is blank.
- Return to the label creation screen when you finish examining the labels.
Suppose you want to print two copies of each label and print labels two across. The next section describes how to do this.
