Default Christmas Labels

I have created Holiday Mailing Labels using mail merge and added clip art to
the label. I have tried using every variation on the picture layout options
but the text jumps to the top edge of the label leaving the bottom half
empty. Anyone know of a way to keep the text vertically centered after adding
the clip art?

Also how does one automatically add to clip art to all the other cells?

Unfortunately Graham Mayor does not address how to prevent text from jumping
when clipart is added.

Format the first paragraph with space before it. The Propagate labels
button will copy the complete setup (including the clipart) from the first
label to the other labels.

It appears you have the graphics layout property set to 'in line with text'
When so configured they behave like text and so will inevitably move your
text if added later. Put the graphic in place first and set a wrap option to
something other than 'in line' either to allow the text to wrap round the
graphic or write over it.
