Is it possible to create a label that is not uniform? Example: I am trying to create a sheet of round labels, 2.7" diameter. There are 3 columns. However, they overlap each other. The first column has 4 down, the second has 3 down and the third has 4 down. The second column falls in between the other columns so that is why there are only 3... So is there a way to assign the position of each label to create the template? Hope this makes sense.
Yes it's possible
Draw your circle, Cntl/D 3 times, space evenly using align and distribute; when satisfied with spacing, select all and combine, cntrl/D again to give another copy, move to other side of sheet; cntrl/D again;separate this copy then select three of the circles,combine, and move to the required position; finally select all, break apart then combine into one and save as a template.
Takes longer to explain than actially do.
The only way you can do that is to layout the sheet on the page directly. I've done this by scanning in the sheet of labels and laying out guidelines to match up the labels. One word of caution, tho, is that sometimes the images will STILL not register perfectly. That's why I avoid any borders that will show when there is not perfect registration. Works best with full bleeds.
Worked perfectly, thank you! But can you set up this template so a mail merge (not sure what it would be called in CDX4) could be accomplished for each label (circle)? For example, I would be able to assign an address from a spreadsheet file to each circle (as you can in the label feature). I am sorry if these are silly questions; I am a CD baby and only know basic functions - I have barely scratched the surface on what this software can accomplish!
This is an advanced scenario...
Create as many fields in your database as labels per page. Then each label has it's own field. (11 fields per page, and per database, if each label has only one field.)
if each label has more than one field, such as Price & product ID, then you need to be organized in the Database and create numerous fields per label.
Wow, Jeff, great explanation! I am a visual learner so this is a great help! Wish me luck. I am making table settings for a party that will be attached to a lollipop so I will have 2 fields per label (name and table assignment).
