LABELS - all the 'How to?'s please

ampersand

I've just bottled my first elderflower cordial[Ted_Hutchinson mse recipe, naturally]and will do more, then champagne.

How do I make and print interesting labels, perhaps with stylish borders, or even a shade image of my tree in flower as b/g? For me, this is ambitious stuff!:D

Thankyou for any help offered.

Add graphics
You can add graphics to labels as you would to any document. Just be sure to place them where they won't obstruct the address or otherwise interfere with the mail processing. For more information, check with the postal service.

The free Avery label wizard is pretty good at making multiple copies - find it at https://www.avery.co.uk

Ah yes - and a note re: your signature, I DID google b4hand[as usual]but couldn't make headway even finding the Microsoft thing I'm supposed to start with. I don't see Tools anywhere.
As for 'add graphics to labels as you would to any document' - that's just what I don't have a clue about, hence asking for humankind babysteps advice - as usual[yet again] on anything techie here:D.

I'll try.
