How the Label List Works
The Label List is displayed in the Label List window, and works similarly to a Database connection. Refer to “Using a Database” on page 52 for a details about conecting to a database. However, with the Label List, the database cannot be imported and can only be exported in CSV format, but records can be added, deleted, and edited (note that the fields are however fixed).
Views
The Label List can be displayed in either Record View or Form View.

Clicking the record selector selects the entire record. The record currently selected is indicated by the mark.
2.Field selector

• The font used in the record view can be changed by changing the settings on the [Database] tab of the Options dialog box. From the “Tool” menu, select “Options” to open the Options dialog box.
•The height of a record can be adjusted by dragging the record divider line between records in the record selector column. Similarly, the width of a field can be adjusted by dragging the field divider line between fields in the field selector row.
