The easiest way to create mailing labels and many other types of printed labels is by using the Label wizard. Choose File|New|Labels or double-click the Label icon on the Reports page of the Navigator, then choose Wizard. After you select the table or query file you want to use, the wizard does the following:

Sets up a common address format for you, or you can create your own format

Sorts the labels on a field you specify

Sets up the page for the type of label sheets you have (many choices)

Lets you create a calculated field

Labels are a type of report, given the extension .LAB. Label files you create are listed on the Reports page of the Navigator.

If you choose to modify labels after using the wizard, or if you design them from scratch, you’ll be working in the Label designer. The Label designer is similar to the Report designer, except that you have additional choices on the menu.
