How do you position Clip Art/Pictures on return address labels?

[Bluey2]

Hi,
Please could any Works8 users advise how to go about adding clip
art/pictures on return address labels ..or to be more precise, how do you
position the image so that it is directly to the left of your address text?

I really have looked everywhere & have experimented with the "format object"
option but so far without any success!

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I am using Works 6.0.

What I do to put clipart/pictures on labels is to print the clipart/picture
on the label then print the text.

Bluey2,
I have created a table with two columns to fit inside the label area. Then
adjust the size of the right column for the text of the address. Then place
the clipart in the left, and resize its proportions to fit the column. I
have done also directly to an envelope template to get the same results.

Re: I have created a table with two columns to fit inside the label area.

In my Works, version 6.0, a table cannot be created while in Labels.

A table can be created while in Envelopes.

Have you tried putting the text in a text box?

MANY thanks to Ken, RRR_News and Homer J Simpson for replying so quickly, and
for the helpful suggestions - I'll definitely be giving those a try.

Thanks again :-)

A textbox will not work. Labels are a table, and in Works one cannot put
a table inside a table.

You have three options:

1. put an illustration on your labels and print the labels. After this
put your text into a label and print the text. This is rather primitive
and not what one expects of a program like Works, but this is how things
are after Works 4.5a. This one was the last in which doing this was easy.

2. open a new draw object within your label and put an illustration and
a textbox to the right of it in the object. The sender's address can be
put in the textbox. (The textbox is an option within the draw object.)

3. put an illustration in the label, inline, the only option you have
with labels in works, and put a wordart object beside it. Put your
address in the Wordart and choose the character size.

The last two options are not for Works 8.5. The "upgrade" from Works 8
to Works 8.5 removed the draw and wordart objects.

So I hope you did not follow Microsoft's advice, and did not do the
"upgrade". As so often with the Works "upgrades", they are downgrades
really.

I inserted the picture / clipart in another Word Processor document,
resized it to 1"1" which was the width i wanted and copied it to the
Label. Does that work for you?
