AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

New layout names are added to the bottom of the Layout menu and the bottom
of the Layout pop-up menu. You can quickly change the layout of your data in
Browse mode by selecting a different layout name from either menu.

Columnar layouts

To create a columnar layout, click Columnar report in the New Layout dialog box,
and then click OK. Move the field names to the Field Order list, in the order you
want them to appear, and then click OK.

Label layouts

To create a layout for labels, click Labels in the New Layout dialog box, choose
a label from the pop-up menu, and then click OK. (Avery 5160/5260/5660 are
the most common label sizes used for shipping and postal service mailers.) In
the Set Field Order dialog box, move the field names to the Field Order list, in
the order you want them to appear on the label, and then click OK.

If you choose Custom in the New Layout dialog box, AppleWorks asks you to
specify the size and number of the labels on the page.

Tip

To create labels quickly, create your database and then use the

Create Labels Assistant. Choose AppleWorks Assistants from the Help menu,
choose Create Labels, and then click OK. For more information about Assistants,
see “Using an Assistant” on page 2-3.
