Dear All,
I am going to develop an application to create and prints labels on
the standard paper labels sheets 8.5 x 11", etc. But, sincerely
speaking, I don't know how to start.

I started with this Idea: define a Form with a RichEdit VCL component
that, once, filled by the end-user, to be printed by using Rave Report
but I immediately phases some problems:

1. How to limit the end-user to write into the RichEdit only the text
and the graphic that can be filled in a label of 3.75" x 2.438" or
similar.

2. How to create a Report in Rave Report or QuickReport that
multiplicate the labels on the full sheet. An example would be really
appreciated.

So I started to think to change the approach: the label is not a
RichEdit but it is a predefined cavas of a dimension identical to the
available standard labels and the end-user has to "draw" it, not
"write" it. But it rises the third question:

3. How to copy the canvas (text and bitmaps) from the VCL form to
Rave?

Which is the right approach? Has anyone a basic "template" example I
can use as starting point? Has anyone a basic Rave Report to use and,
possibly, modify?

Really thanks for the help.
Gianpiero
