I don't think that will help, because bookplates don't change from
book to book.

book label?
That would rather depend on whether the books all belong to the same person,
or whether the labels are for multiple copies of a book for a variety of people (members of a school class?) The question said that the labels were for "This Book Belongs To" and not "This Book Belongs To ducksrusmrducks" Either way labels - merged or otherwise - will work. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter T.

I don't think it's unreasonable to interpret a label that says "This Book
Belongs To" as being a bookplate. Yes, it's possible that the OP meant to put the label on the outside of the book, but the inside is what I also assumed, and that would be a bookplate. There is in fact a bookplate template at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101467571033. There are also bookplates for schoolbooks at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...T101467571033; I'm guessing that these are intended for use in a single teacher's classroom library. There's one that actually says "THIS BOOK BELONGS TO" (with a flower design) at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...T101467571033; the same design in B&W is at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101467571033 I found these by googling for "bookplate template," which also turns up many more such, including one from Avery.

Ms. Barnhill,
Who said anyting was unreasonable? Call it whatever you like As is often the case Mr. Daniels was wrong. The OP posted looking for a template and not Mr. Daniels' erroneous statement that one doesn't exist or for what books on typograhpy may have to say about them. He didn't know the answer. Since he didn't and you did, the perhhaps he should have left the question for you. Suzanne S.

Subcommander mini-max is making up lies and fantasies about me again.
I never said such a template doesn't exist. I implied that there would be no point in such a template, because bookplates are one-off things. I'm not responsible for the fact that subcommander mini-max doesn't know what a bookplate is or is for (and that ducksrusmrducks may not know the usual name for what he's looking for, but it was fully identifiable from his description "This Book Belongs To book label". Moreover, since in my response I supplied the usual name for what he was looking for, if he still wanted such a template he would be able to search for it and, as Suzanne found, find some.) The world would be a much better place if subcommander mini-max would simply never again look at any posting from me (and would stop sending me emails).

In this case what you're missing is that what the OP is asking for is not a
template for creating multiple different but similar documents (as you might with, say, a report template) but a template that includes a design. The templates I pointed to online are of this type. They include graphics and layout, requiring only that the user add a name. So in this sense, templates are available and are useful to those (like me) who have only minimal design skills. -- Suzanne S.

Mr. Daniels,
Your head is on fire. Is there no water flowing under your bridge? You really should try to put it out before you burn down your bridge. No point in such a template! What arrogance! Who are you to decide if there is merit or not in ducksrusmrducks quest to find a suitable template? Now you present a circular argument. First you argue that there is no point in such a template and then you argue that you provided the OP the usual name for such an item in case he still wanted such a template he would be able to search for it and find some. Which is it Mr. Daniels? Are such templates pointless or not? You were wrong again. Admit it. Your argument here is so weak it is pathetic. For better or worse, your world is going to be fraught with challenges to your incorrect answers, biased and unsolicited opinions, and unbridled arrogance until you either change your behavior and apologize to this group for your past behavior or crawl back under your bridge to stay. These are simple choices. Choose one. Good day. Greg Maxey "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ... Subcommander mini-max is making up lies and fantasies about me again.

You can see from this message how vindictive and stupid subcommander
mini-max really is. He somehow thinks that I said anything about bookplates being used in books on typography. He fails to understand that what is needed for your request is not a template sort of tool, but a labels sort of tool -- as Graham has suggested. He fails to understand that everyone's bookplate is an individual creation, which reflects your own needs and taste, and not someone else's. Perhaps subcommander mini-max's thirty years in the Navy drummed all imagination and creativity out of him and left him with nothing but an ache for the power he no longer has, to regulate the lives of the dozens of men at his mercy.

Mr. Daniels,
I think it is you with the lock on stupid. Do you try to be stupid or does it come naturally? Do you just babble here without any idea what you actually post? He somehow thinks that I said anything about bookplates being used in books on typography. Yes he does. If you didn't post this then someone is posting using your name: "There's no standard design for bookplates. Books on typography often use bookplates to show the imagination of designers!" You are arguing in circles again. First you challenge Graham Mayor's suggestion and now you champion it. If you weren't such a dilattante you might realize that a Word template is still a template regardless if is used as a tool for creating letters, creating labels, or creating bookplates. Continue in your arguments as you wish. You are simply over your head and out of your range. Peter T.

book label?
We'll never know unless he comes back to tell us, but I think he was looking
for a design as much as he was looking for a mechanism. If he looked in Word for labels, I would hope he would eventually stumble over the Labels dialog, especially if he was using standard labels such as Avery since the package would probably mention that Word had support for them (and of course Avery also provides templates).

I wouldn't think "howcome" has a place in formal writing; as a
colloquialism, I spell it to reflect the stress pattern in its pronunciation.

book label?
Mr. Daniels,
I think it is you with the lock on stupid. Do you try to be stupid or does it come naturally? Do you just babble here without any idea what you actually post? He somehow thinks that I said anything about bookplates being used in books on typography. Yes he does. If you didn't post this then someone is posting using your name: "There's no standard design for bookplates. Books on typography often use bookplates to show the imagination of designers!" You are arguing in circles again. First you challenge Graham Mayor's suggestion and now you champion it. If you weren't such a dilattante you might realize that a Word template is still a template regardless if is used as a tool for creating letters, creating labels, or creating bookplates. Continue in your arguments as you wish. You are simply over your head and out of your range. Peter T. Daniels wrote: You can see from this message how vindictive and stupid subcommander mini-max really is. He somehow thinks that I said anything about bookplates being used in books on typography. He fails to understand that what is needed for your request is not a template sort of tool, but a labels sort of tool -- as Graham has suggested. He fails to understand that everyone's bookplate is an individual creation, which reflects your own needs and taste, and not someone else's. Perhaps subcommander mini-max's thirty years in the Navy drummed all imagination and creativity out of him and left him with nothing but an ache for the power he no longer has, to regulate the lives of the dozens of men at his mercy.

Daniels is a troll who lurks here with self proclaimed, mystical powers of comprehension. He is a very sensitive reader and he is renowned, in his own mind, for his ability to read for content rather than context. He frequently claims to know what people really mean. He also claims the uncanny ability to intuit what is actually going on from what is unsaid. You made a pretty straightforward request: Need "This Book Belongs To" book label template. I’ll leave it for you to decide the merit of Mr. Daniels’ reply and his later admission that he was implying that the template you sought was pointless. I am curious. Did you really want such a template or did you just want Mr. Daniels’ to dodge the request, give you a proper name, and share some meaningless trivia on how bookplates are used in books on typography? Moving past the bluster from under the bridge, I hope that you found the information provided by Mr. Mayor and Ms. Barnhill useful. This newsgroup was a much better place before Mr. Daniels crawled from the slime and arrived on scene. Good luck. -- Greg Maxey See my web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org for an eclectic collection of Word Tips. |
