Hi
I want to print 4 address labels on one sheets. However, each address is
different. Specifically, I am printing address labels from eBay. Is there a
way I can position the type so that I can re-insert the labels sheet and
print off the next address?
In the Labels dialog, click the option for "Single label" and then choose the
row and column for that label.
A better option: click the "Full page of same label" option, leave the address
box empty, and click the New Document button. That creates a document containing
a table corresponding to the labels on the sheet (if you don't see the edges of
the cells, go to the Table ribbon and click the Show Gridlines button). Type one
address in each of four cells, and print the page. Or insert an address in one
cell, print, then delete that address and type a different one in a different
cell to print again -- that's up to you. You could also save the document with
the empty table, and open it instead of going back to the Labels dialog.
A bit of advice: If you're using a laser printer, don't run the same label sheet
through multiple times. The heat of the printer can make labels peel off and
stick to the drum, and then you have an expensive repair. This isn't so likely
with inkjet printers.
