### Word 97 and Word 98 Macintosh Edition

1. On the Tools menu, click Envelopes and Labels.

2. Click Options. In the Label Options dialog box, click Laser and Ink Jet (under Printer Options).

3. In the Product Number list, click to select either "WordSaver 5 - Tabs" or "WorkSaver 8 - Tabs."

4. Click New Label.

5. In the Label Name box, type a name for your custom label.

6. Modify the label settings:

           - For WorkSaver 5 Tabs, change the following:

                Horizontal Pitch        2 inches (Word 97 only)
                Label Width             2 inches (Word 97 only)
                Number Across           4 (Word 97 only)
                Number Down             30

             Do not modify the other settings.
