Default Problem with copying frames

On my 6 to a page template I have the following Format Text Box setting on
the advanced layout tab.

Horizontal Absolute position .07" to the right of Column
Vertical Absolute position 2.87" below Marging.
Options Move object with text unchecked,
Allow overlap checked
Lock anchor unchecked
Layout in table cell checked

Those values are the same for each label on the page.

On the 4 to a page template have
Horizontal Absolute position .32" to the right of Column
Vertical Absolute position 2.97" below Marging.
Options Move object with text unchecked,
Allow overlap checked
Lock anchor unchecked
Layout in table cell checked

Hi Gerd,

Yes, but how do the anchor points in the two versions compare? Are they
all anchored to the same point(s)?

Cheers

The first one is anchored at a fixed position. When copying on the
6-label template the frame is copied to the other 5 labels with the
correct position.

Hi Gerd,

Are the frames in both templates anchored to the same points (eg each
label or all on the first label)?

Cheers

| Using Word 2003 I created 2 label templates. Template 1 has 6 labels
to a
| page in landscape mode. Label 2 has 4 label to a page in portrait
mode.
|
| Each label has a frame at the bottom with our company and web
information.
| The frame is at a fixed position and does not move with the text.
|
| When I change the first label to use different text, then copy that
entire
| label and paste it to the other labels on the page the frame is copied
to
| all other labels without any problem.
|
| However, when I do the very same on the template 2 the frame is not
copied
| to the next label, which forces me to copy the frame separately. Once
I
| copied the frame to label 2 then select that entire label and paste it
to
| labels 3 and 4 the frame is copied as well.
|
| I checked the frame setup which appears to be the very same. I just
can't
| figure out why one template works and the other one doesn't.
|
| Thanks for any help in advance.
