This will be six lines
and is about as far as one
can go while remaining 
easily readable.  Note that
the spacing is reduced.

This label will be 
followed with three null
lines to create two
blank labels.

Here we will force eight lines
into the label.  The  text
nearly touches and becomes
fairly difficult to read. 
However, if you need to force
this much text into the label,
it will not be attractive but
it can be done.

The extreme case occurs when
the text is ten lines long. In
this case, the letters
actually overlap slightly and
the readability of the text is
greatly reduced.  If you use
more than ten lines per label,
the formatting program will
drop the lines in excess of
this and warn the user.

These lines are all           
30 characters long            
with trailing spaces.         
So the text is left justified.

           Here we shift right
       by using leading spaces
 
Or we can        insert space.

The following line has a space
 
at the beginning, resulting   
in a blank line on the label. 

 
 
 
 
The above lines contain 
spaces to force this down.
