Most of what you design goes on a label, and is repeated on every label of its label set. A page element goes on the page instead: it's there once per page, wherever you put it, and it can cross the edges of the labels. Use one for a heading, a logo, or a note on the sheet.

A page element can be anything an element on a label can be: a text, a barcode, a picture, a grid, a pattern or a line. You see page elements in page view only: in label view there's only the label.

To add a page element:

1. Click Add element in the toolbar.
2. In the element library, open the ⋮ menu and choose Insert new page element.
3. Double-click an element to put it in the middle of the page, or drag it onto the page.

You can also drop a picture file onto the page, outside the labels: it becomes a page element with that picture.

Click a page element to select it and open the Page element panel. It's the same as the panel of an element on a label, with a few differences, because a page element isn't on a label:

• it can't show data from a data source, so Data source is dimmed and there are no fields to add;
• in its text and barcode, the automatic values about labels - such as the label number - aren't there, but the ones about the page are: the current page, the total pages, the first and last label on the page;
• its Advanced section, in Properties, has the options that say where and when it appears.

Where and when it appears
Show on	Which pages it's printed on: All pages, Even pages only, Odd pages only, First page only or Last page only.
Skip first page, Skip last page	Leaves it off the first or the last page, such as a "continued" note that shouldn't be on the last one.
Position	On top of labels draws it over the labels, Behind labels under them: a background for the whole sheet, for example.

In the Document panel, the page elements drawn on top of the labels are listed before the label sets, and those behind them after.

An element stays what it is: you can't turn an element on a label into a page element, or the other way round. Copy and paste keeps it as it was, too.
