Corel WordPerfect Label Definition Format | Corel | Layout Files |
LAB files are data files associated with .WLL (WordPerfect Label) files, which are generated by various desktop publishing and word processing applications from Corel. They contain definitions and descriptions of label formats and objects used for printing addresses and other text and image elements on documents such as business letters, envelopes, CDs, and shipping labels. LAB files are normally used to save time by quickly setting up printing for labels and are also used to define designs and label shapes.
The LAB file extension is an Xbase-compliant structure used to store label definitions. It is essentially a.WLL file without any customizable properties or formatting. To open a LAB file, the user will need specific software such as WordPerfect Labeler or Corel WordPerfect Office Suite, which is available for Windows and macOS platforms. These programs are typically included in the installation package for WordPerfect or Corel WordPerfect Office. Other programs that can open the file include Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, and AbiWord.

Other related file extensions include .AXT, .GHO, .LBL, .NCD, and .SFT.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LAB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LAB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LAB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LAB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LAB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LAB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LAB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LAB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LAB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LAB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
