Run the Adobe Pagemaker application by double clicking its icon on your desktop, or in the Start menu. Click the “Labels” button under the template menu, which you will see right after the application window opens.
If the menu does not appear automatically, you can do it manually by selecting the "Plug-in Palettes" from the “Window” dropdown menu. Then, you will have to click the “Show Scripts” option, and then “Templates”, to see the “Labels” section. -

From the list of templates that appear on the screen, select the design which you want to use for your labels. The program may ask you to install the required font for the particular design. If you only want to use the design, and plan to use any other font, then you do not need to install the font for the specific design.
