print sorted labels vertically in Word 2000
Here's a macro that can be used to sort the datasource to achieve that:
' Macro to assign numbers to data source so that it can be sorted to cause labels to print down columns Dim Message, Title, Default, labelrows, labelcolumns, i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer Message = "Enter the number of labels in a row" ' Set prompt. Title = "Labels per Row" ' Set title. Default = "3" ' Set default. ' Display message, title, and default value. labelcolumns = InputBox(Message, Title, Default) Message = "Enter the number of labels in a column" ' Set prompt. Title = "Labels per column" ' Set title. Default = "5" ' Set default. labelrows = InputBox(Message, Title, Default) ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns.Add BeforeColumn:=ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1) ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(1).Range.Cut k = 1 For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count - labelcolumns For j = 1 To labelrows ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range.InsertBefore k + (j - 1) * labelcolumns i = i + 1 Next j k = k + 1 i = i - 1 If k Mod labelcolumns = 1 Then k = k - labelcolumns + labelcolumns * labelrows Next i ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Sort FieldNumber:="Column 1" ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(1).Select Selection.Paste ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1).Delete Alternatively, if you modify the mailmerge main document so that the labels are in columns (FormatColumns) you can achieve the same thing. -- Hope this helps.
