In the Product Number list, click to select either "WordSaver 5 - Tabs" or "WorkSaver 8 - Tabs." Click New Label. In the Label Name box, type a name for your custom label.  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.
