Try Record Holder Plus.  It is inexpensive and can do everything you've
mentioned (and lots more).  It has a "variable size" fields option for
reports; so it will print labels without lots of unwanted white space.
Reports (e.g., labels) and on-screen forms are designed by placing,
dragging, and resizing fields, text and pictures.  Field types include:
text, number, money, date, checkbox, radio button, table lookup, yes/no,
picture, computed, and statistical.  Fields can have default values, can be
range checked, and can have user-defined input patterns.  Record Holder Plus
supports different fonts, styles, and colors for each field or label.  You
can define and save as many report formats as you like.  You can change the
on-screen form whenever you wish.  Record Holder Plus writes and reads text
files with a user-specified field delimiter.  It will output all your data
or whatever subset you specify.  Record Holder Plus manages files up to 16
MB with as many records as the file will hold.  Record and field length is
limited to 32K.
