Well - I dont see why you cant just use Photoshop/Illustrator to make
the labels? Then export them to QuarkXPress/Pagemaker - arrange them
nicly and print on the label paper, thats what I do, for minidisc
labels - which are roughly 3.5 inch floppy disk size. Just measure
what size you need them. Also try Avery Label Pro or similar - its
free :)

Right, I have MS Word so I will look at using that.   Scratch my
original comments about the orientation of the labels on the 'Impact'
brand Stationery.  You are right Patrick, they are straight up and
down but contain no wraparound flap.  I was curious, however, whether
the paper code 'LCF' was an international code, and if so whether
Microsoft would have a prelaid out template that I could download.

I got mine from the Warehouse Office Stationary store.  Cost was $9.95
for 100 labels- that's around 10c per label by my calculations.

Yes I have used those labels. MS Word or Publisher or just about any 
wordprocessor will do them. Word and Publisher are very easy to set up, 
you just put a ruler across the sheet and measure all the dimensions you 
need to enter (such as label size, margins, spacing etc etc)
I think even MS Works will do labels, though maybe only from a 
database...

The Avery or Arrow labels are better as they are a full size for a 3.5" 
disk, they have the bit that wraps around the top of the disk and keeps 
the dust/dirt out, a bit more expensive though, Blue Star's prices are 
much better than WOP for labels...

Post back and say what software you are using...

Very simple to use

Tools | Envelopes and Labels
Click Labels tab
Click Options button
Click New Label button
Type in a name for this new label
Get your ruler out and measure:
Top margin - distance from top of page to edge of 1st label
Side margin - distance from left of page to edge of 1st label
Label height & width
Vertical pitch - distance from top of one label to top of next label 
down. If they are right next to each other then it is the same as the 
height.
Horizontal pitch - distance from left of one label to left of next label 
across. If next to each other then same as width.
Number across & Number down page.
Page size is A4.
Click OK.
Select your new label under product number
Select the tray you are using, then click OK.

Type your text in the address box or leave blank

under Print click "Full page of the same label"

Click "Print" to print straight away or "New Document" to create a 
document with the labels in it. If you do "New Document" then you can 
create the labels normally in Word before you print them which lets you 
put in logos, fancy text or whatever.

When you click "New Document" Word will create a document formatted as a 
sort of table with the labels visible in rows and columns, like they will 
print when you print the document. Format it and print it.

If you go to any shareware archive eg simtel you will find
applications for printing disk lables.

Didnt the old version of word have a template? has someone written one
they could post this chap?

Remember, test it on paper first, I still have a pile of failed label
prints, its taking year to use em up///

Worth a crack.

Or you can hard-code your own template with a table.
