GOAL:
How to add labels to the standard labels list.
FIX:
Results comes with a list of Standard label specifications but developers may want to add new labels.
In order to add another label size in Results so that it will be part of the available label sizes to select from when in Results, the .qc7 file need to be modified.
1) Open a text editor.
2) Select the appropriate .qc7 file (the qc7 file is dbname.qc7)
3) Scroll down to the label.size section and either modify
an existing one with the necessary dimensions or create a new one.
All codes must be enclosed within a single set of double quotes.
For example:
label.size[50]= "d=4 x 2-1/6 in,w=40,h=16,c=Avery 4168 Rotary Card"
Codes are as follows:
a = Specifies the number of labels across the printed page.
Default is 1.
c = Specifies the name for the label format. This name represents
the format in RESULTS. Must be a unique name.
d = Specifies the width and height of the label in inches.
For example 3-1/2 x 1.
h = Specifies the height of the label in lines.
l = Specifies the number of lines between labels. The default is 1.
s = Specifies the horizontal space between labels in characters.
Default is 0.
w = Specifies the width of the label in characters.
x = Specifies the left margin of the paper in characters.
Default is 0.
4) Save the file once the modification are made.
Do not forget to save the file as ascii text only. Now
delete the fastload files and start Results.
