You Can Create Mailing Labels Using the ClarisWorks Assistant

After you have entered the names and addresses in the database, you can use the information in any number of ways. One convenient use of the database is to print mailing labels so you do not have to individually address each envelope. When you first create a database, it has just one layout or screen appearance. You can have several different views, or layouts, of the same information. In this tutorial, you'll create another layout to see and print your information in label format. You will use the Create Labels Assistant to create the label layout and save time.
