Can't find size for 60 return labels in Publisher 2003

[Denise]

I can't find a way to create a custom label size in Publisher 2003 from page
setup, layout page. I downloaded the Word version for Avery 5195 labels which
are 2/3" x 1 3/4" with 60 on a page. When I try to Import Word document, it
says Publisher is converting file, and then I get error Publisher cannot open
the file. I have Word 2007 and Publisher 2003. Is there something I can do to
get Publisher to let me use this size? I would rather create the labels in
Publisher than Word if possible.

Thanks,

Are all the labels going to be the same?

Page setup, custom, type .66 height, 1.75 width. Change copies per sheet button,
Side .39, Top .55, Horizontal gap, .3 Vertical gap zero. Publisher should say 60
labels per sheet.
I'd print out a test on plain paper to be sure the labels are lining up.

All the labels are the same but when I pull up Publisher 2003 and click on
File, then setup, under the layout tab, the options are either custom or
label. I f I select custom, the only thing it shows I can change is width 8.5
or height 11". If I select label, the width and height are grayed out and you
have to select a page size. I don't see an option for custom when I select
label in the layout.

Can't figure out how to get Publisher 2003 to let me make a custom label
when I select File, then Page Setup. I tried pulling up the return label with
80 and you can change the measurements under adjust label printing but it
won't let you change the number of rows and columns.

It should be a simple custom setup. You don't select label, you select custom.
Type your measurements, the *Change copies per sheet* button will become active.

Thank you so much! I wasn't going ahead and typing in my measurements after
selecting custom. It worked using the measurements you provided. I am so
happy!

One other question, is there a way to save this custom file under a
different name in case I wanted to make another custom one or would I just
need to change it back if I decide to make another custom file? I may not
need to do this but was wondering for the future just in case.

Thanks for your help!

Not sure I know what you mean. You can do a save as a Publisher template if you
want to use the same setup over and over.
