Setting up a label Template

[jmaejr]

I am trying to make a label template, similar to the premade ones. I have been using the 2.5" x 2.5" and just shrinking it down to 1.25" x 1.25", however this wastes a lot of paper because it only prints 9...what I am trying to figure out is how to get the single design to fill as much of the paper as possible i.e 30 labels per page without cutting and pasting all of them... the Avery templates you just design one label and it fills the number of slots on the page.

Thanks for any help.

What you need is to setup a merge...

Thanks for the link, although, not exactly what I was looking for.

What I am looking for is a way to create my own template...I print on plain paper

and create 'labels' for small bottles of essential oils. I cut these out and glue
them on the bottles. The size changes according to the size of the bottles, so I
can't use premade sizes, they also don't offer the flexibility I' am looking for. So
I would like to set up a template where I select the size of the 'label' and design
one, instead of having to cut and paste every on one the page...just like the avery
templates...where you design one and it fills the appropriate number based on size.
Is this possible?
