Once the template is open, refer to the appropriate topic in Editing Label and Report Templates for instructions on the editing that you plan to do.

Perhaps you have a Label or Report template that is already correctly positioned and resized, or you simply want to change the content of a template for a different job, but don't want to recreate the entire process?  That's where the Copy and Rename buttons come in.  Since you cannot rename a Label Template once you've entered the Label Designer, the Copy and Rename buttons allow you to either create a duplicate of a current template, or rename an existing template to a more preferred name prior to editing.

Saving Label and Report Templates

Once you have completed your editing of the template, you will want to save the changes.  When you save a report or label template, all information about the report is saved in a table with a .FRX extension for reports and a .LBX extension for labels.  There is an associated index of .FRT for reports and .LBT for labels.  If the LBX/FRX files are the content that is stored within your label or report files, then the LBT/FRT index files are the table of contents.  They tell the label template files how they should be organized and ordered.  Both files are required for editing and saving labels or reports!  These files are stored in the AccuZIP6 5.0 Reports or Labels folder, respectively, by default.  The files must be stored in these folders to be accessible from the Print/Report Settings window Template pull-down menu.
