Wordprocessor for printing A4 or A5 documents
Microsoft's Word, Notepad or Wordpad are self contained programs from Microsoft, and they handle their own printing. Depending on your printer, they may offer a choice of multiple copies of labels etc, or only one.
To set up printing if multiples are required and 'Wordpad' does not provide it on your hardware, a more advanced Wordprocessor, such as 'Word for Windows', will be required.
For more information on how to configure and use Wordpad or Notepad, click on the 'on screen help' in these programs for the Microsoft help notes, or see the Microsoft manuals.
