Printing from a Word Processor Using Smart Paste

You can quickly print labels by copying text from a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word. When copying text from a word processor, you will typically have multiple lines of text, such as in an address. In this case, the text for each label is separated by either a single blank line or a carriage return/line feed.

Smart Paste begins a new label wherever a blank line appears in the text. If the text contains no blank lines, Smart Paste creates a new label for each line of text.

For example

The two addresses below are separated by a single blank line.  So, the text will print as two three-line labels.

 

However, the list in the following example does not contain any blank lines. So, the text prints as three one-line labels.
