In MS Word, go to
Layout->Margins-->Narrow, then
change font to Times New Roman, and
text size to 75-80 (or 70 for longer call numbers);
change to regular font to BOLD.
Got to the line spacing options dropdown and choose 1.0 then select Remove space after paragraph.
Type in the header according to location:
MERRILL
CAZIER
Insert a line (change font size to 40 or so) between header & call number, then change back to 75/80 (or 70)
Then finally you are ready to paste in the call number itself:
Tinker with the call number and font size until all parts of the number are on their correct line, making sure the call number fits only on one standard sized page so it will fit on the label
--Make sure page is set to Profile view.
Save (as a Word document), then Save as Adobe PDF.
Open the PDF, click on print icon – and make sure * fit to page is selected before printing; when asked, choose one of the small zebra printers (such as CatZD420 Label Printer); and print. If more than one label is needed, you can make a multipage PDF for all of them. Just make sure each label fits on a single standard page. Sample of a single label for the general circulating collection:
