indent writing on labels

[Guest]

Hi

just wondering if someone can help me,
we use custom labels to print our labels on, the width, height etc is all
just how we want it, but the writing is justified all the way to the left
wasting half a label, and making it look a little bit tacky, is there a way
for us to 'indent' our writing so that it comes out in the middle of the
label instead of to the side without having to go formatting of text on every
single label every time we print some off?

Thanks

If you use the New Document button in the Labels dialog, you will get a
sheet of labels that you can format any way you choose. They're set up as a
table, so make sure you have table gridlines displayed (Table | Show
Gridlines) so you can see the label boundaries. If you want to format the
label directly in the Labels dialog, select the text in the window,
right-click, choose Paragraph, and apply the desired indent.
