Create a Word Template
The first step is to create a document template in Word that matches your label paper (e.g. A4 paper with 3 columns of labels). A number of pre-made label templates are available as free downloads from Durell’s FTP Server. To get one of them, starting from your Windows Desktop….
- Close any programs that you’ve got running
- Click the “Start” button, then select “All programs / Accessories / Windows Explorer”
- Navigate to your Durell template folder (i.e. the sub-folder called “TEMPLATE” in the main Durell data folder called “IMW-DATA”
- Leave this sub-folder open
Back on your Windows Desktop…
- Click the “Start” button, then select “All programs / Internet Explorer”
- In the “Address” line enter “ftp://82.219.210.162/” and click “Go”, as shown below
On the “Log in as” pop-up, shown below…
- Enter the word “download” as both the username and the password
- Click “Log On”
- You should now be able to find, and double-click, a folder called “Durell Solutions, Label templates”, as shown below
- Right-click on a label template that you wish to use and select “Copy”
- Right-click anywhere on the BACKGROUND of the \Imw-Data\Template sub-folder and click “Paste”
- Close all open windows and start Durell – you should find the new template in your Document Viewer
Alternatively you could create your own label template, or edit the downloaded template, as described in…
