Labels and stickers for printing at home

Usually the scale rather than the template. By default a browser and a driver print "fit to page" and shrink the sheet by 2–5 %. On the top row that is invisible, but the error accumulates and by the bottom row it is several millimetres. Set 100 % or "Actual size" in the print dialog. If the drift remains, it is the paper feed: measure the 50 mm check line printed in the margin and enter the result under "Printer correction", then take the X and Y offset from the overlay sheet.

The number of labels per sheet is nearly always on the pack. Pick it from the list and print the check sheet on plain paper — hold it against the stock at a window and see whether the outlines line up. If they do not, measure the width and height of one label, the distance from the paper edge to the first one, and the distance between the starts of two neighbours, then enter those under "Custom sheet".

Yes. On the "List" tab paste the names one per line and each line becomes a label. For several columns of data — name, class, address — use the "Table" tab: load a CSV or paste the text and the column names appear as buttons that insert the field into the label. "Copies each" prints, say, three labels per child consecutively.

Yes, that is what "Skip" is for. Count the empty cells left to right and top to bottom, enter that number, and printing begins at the next one. Skipped cells are shown greyed and dashed in the preview so you can match them against the real sheet.

Nothing — the encoding is detected for you. Non-English versions of Excel save CSV as windows-1251 with semicolons instead of commas; both are recognised, including short lists of two or three names. Commas inside quoted fields, such as addresses, do not break the parsing either.

Only the 50 mm check ruler, on the strip of backing paper that is thrown away anyway. It exists so that after printing you can prove with a ruler that the driver did not rescale anything — there is no way to observe that from inside a browser. The ruler can be switched off.

The size is reduced automatically down to a set minimum, and if that is still not enough the tool reports in advance how many records do not fit and which is the first. From there: give the block more room, choose a smaller size, allow two lines, or shorten the values themselves.

Yes — Ø30, Ø40 and Ø60 are ready to use, and under "Custom sheet" the shape can be set to "Circle" with any diameter and grid. The design is clipped to the circle in both the preview and the PDF.
