- Help - Laser-Ready Labels
-
- Welcome to Laser-Ready Labels. This combination of very easy
- software, fonts and templates has everything you need to print
- great-looking labels on laser, DeskJet and dot-matrix printers.
-
- To get started, press a key to choose a kind of label:
-
- 1. Mailing Labels. Six sizes (33, 30, 24, 21, 20 and 14-up) are
- perfect for envelopes, postcards and other addressing jobs.
-
- 2. Shipping Labels. Use 8-up or 6-up shipping labels for boxes,
- large envelopes and parcels requiring a return address.
-
- 3. General Purpose Labels. Four sizes (12, 10, 9 and 6-up) fit your
- "miscellaneous" labeling jobs. You type the words and Laser-
- Ready Labels takes care of layout and centering.
-
- When you're finished, press Q to quit. See the README file for
- further information on using Laser-Ready Labels.

- Help - Choose a File
-
- Laser-Ready Labels stores labels in disk files. In this window,
- identify the file in which your list is stored. Use these keys:
-
- F2 Move to "File:" to type a file name. Omit the suffix and
- remember to press Enter. Laser-Ready Labels automatically
- appends .LRM (mailing), .LRS (shipping), or .LRG (general
- purpose) to the name you type. List names can be no more than
- 8 characters long and must conform to DOS file naming rules.
-
- F3 Move to "Path:" so you can change your drive and path.
- Overtype the drive and path displayed, then press Enter.
-
- F4 Move into the list of files that are in this drive and path.
- Use the Arrow Keys to locate a particular file, then press
- Enter. If there are more names to choose from than will fit in
- the window, press PgDn and/or PgUp to see them all.
