AccuZIP6 5.0 offers a user friendly Label and Report Designer that can be used to design custom labels and reports in nearly any format. The Label and Report Designer makes it easy to select the information you need, and format it in a variety of ways to produce impressive labels and reports. The Label and Report Designers are object oriented, meaning that you can place objects such as text, pictures, fields, lines and rectangles in the bands of a Page Layout window. The objects can be manipulated and placed until the look of the label or report suits your needs. In addition, you can preview the template before it is printed to make sure that it is perfect.
You do not have to be a programmer to create custom labels and reports!
