If the label sheet is re-used and one of the labels comes off the sheet into
the printer mechanism, the cost of fixing it - particularly with a laser printer would far outweigh the savings. However from the labels dialog, create a new document. Fill in the cells as appropriate. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joyce wrote: I made a template for shipping labels.

After selecting your label type, use the New Document button which creates a
sheet of blank labels. If you cannot see the label boundaries, enable the Table | Gridlines setting. Now save this as a template and close it. Create a new document from the template and fill in whichever cells you want to use that are unused on your sheet of labels. But please heed Graham's warning: don't do this with LaserJets because more than one run through the printer may result in a label coming off in the printer causing far more cost than the few pennies saved using the remainder of the label sheet. One of the advantages of creating your own template for your commonly used labels is that you can format them to use fonts, spacing and margins that you want. One of the disadvantages is that with many inkjet printers you will get a prompted about margins being outside the printable area: you can simply ignore this though. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Joyce" wrote in message news I made a template for shipping labels.

FWIW, I run label sheets back through my LJ 4100 all the time. The only
downside is that it tends to spread just enough random toner that each successive label gets progressively greyer. -- Suzanne S.

I think it does depend on the laser printer (print path length and
temperature) and the time between print runs. Some big lasers tend to become extremely hot when they are being used by for long print runs and if the labels are reused before the glue has had time to thoroughly disasters do occur.

They certainly do - I had a Kyocera printer in the days when they cost a
fortune and the replacement parts to fix the damage caused by a detached label cost far more than you can buy a laser printed for now -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Terry Farrell wrote: I think it does depend on the laser printer (print path length and temperature) and the time between print runs.

I have done this myself too using an HP 4150 duplex printer. I was very
lucky and one of our engineers managed to remove the 'lost' label without damaging any of the parts. It was a heavily used printer and frequently the pile of printed paper in the out tray was very hot. Terry "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

I think the LJ4100 uses a lower heat than my old LJ4, but in my case I don't
print much any more (and a label would not be printed at the end of a long print run, anyway), and the reason I print one label at a time is that I don't need to print more than one, so of course the sheet has time (days or even weeks) to cool between labels. -- Suzanne S.
