Creating labels with other applications

When installing the software, if you choose the Add-In function, a P-touch icon will be automatically added onto the Microsoft® Word, Excel®, and Outlook® toolbar. (Only if Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Outlook® are already installed on your PC.) The Add-In function is valid for Windows® only.

In each application, by choosing the text you want to print and clicking on the P-touch icon, you can create and print labels quickly and easily.

Depending on the setting, the character string that is downloaded by using the Add-In function will be registered to the Label List. The Label List is a database exclusively for P-touch Editor. To display Label List, click [File]- [Database]-[Label List].

• The Add-In function supports the following applications:

Microsoft® Word 2002/2003/2007/2010, Microsoft® Excel® 2002/2003/2007/2010, and Microsoft® Outlook® 2002/2003/2007/2010
