About Customizing Layouts

When you create a new envelope, label, or flyer layout, the new layout becomes a permanent part of the list, but you can still select from other layouts. If you have a medium that is a non-standard size, you can base your new layout on the Envelope, Label, or Flyer layouts. This allows for customization of characteristics, such as size and margins.

• Note: With the increased flexibility of options available in DAZzle, the User-Defined option is not strictly needed. The User-Defined option remains available in the application for the convenience of users with layouts created in older versions of DAZzle.

Be sure to read about:

• The differences between different layouts.
• The important note about envelope margins and barcodes.

• Caution! Changing an existing layout affects every instance of this layout in other layouts. When in doubt, create a new layout instead of modifying an existing layout. It is not recommended that you change the standard settings for envelopes or flyers. Instead, add a new entry to the list.
