Roy-
I'm not near my ham computer so I may forget a few steps - but I think this
answers your question:
Your printer properties will be used to select your A4 paper size.
Find a LOGic label report close to what you want so that the information
(addresses or QSL info) will already be programmed into the form. Using
Windows Explorer or something to make a copy of that report and then rename
the copy with any new name of your choice (keep same extension in name). I
think there are two reports with the same name but different extensions
(rpt & fmt?).
Then in LOGic, go to the menu bar and select File/Print/Modify
report. Select the report with the new name that you just created.
Drag the bottom of the upper modification window down so you can see the
whole label and the two or three "bars" above and below the
label. Left-double-click on the left end of the DETAILS bar (left of that
little black pyramid). That will open a dialog box where you can enter the
height of the label that you want. I don't recall seeing metric dimensions
so you may have to convert to decimal inches. There is also a top bar (I
don't recall its name) that you can slide up (left-click and drag) to cover
the top header with the page number and date.
Then select File/Page Setup at the menu bar and an image of the whole label
sheet will appear. Change the spacing between labels, number of labels
across etc. to your liking. Finally, with more clicking and dragging, move
around the programmed information to your liking and save it under that
same new name you created. When you click on any item, moving it is much
more precise using your arrow keys. Before you save it - or later again in
the modification screen, you can have fun with the various tools available
so you can insert pictures, graphics, colors and fonts into your masterpiece.
After exiting the modification screens, test your new format by selecting
it at (I think) the QSLing menu selection and print it to your
screen. What you see is what you'll get and it most likely will require
tweaking.
Customizing reports and labels can really get your creative juices flowing.
