Downloaded label templates do not integrate with the envelope/label wizard.
They are used as document templates to create new documents that you can use
for mail merge or to enter data in the cells.
If you want to create your own custom label for the wizard you need a ruler
and use it to measure the indicated settings in the label dialog then
transfer those measurements. Vertical and horizontal pitch are clearly
illustrated.
