Hello,

I am using Word2007 and want to format Avery Postcards #3263. There doesn't
seem to be a way to tell Word to layout the labels on a document. It only
has an option to type in text and print directly to the printer. I want to
make a page of postcards with graphic images. In older versions of Word
this was possible. Is that functionality gone?

Thank you and God Bless,

Mark

Are you saying you don't see the New Document button at the bottom of the
dialog box?

Beth,

Yes there is a new document button. It brings up a new document but that's
it. I need the page divided into 4 sections. I guess I'll have to do it
the old fashioned way...lol

The labels are there -- you just can't see them. :-)

The label definition is created using a Word table and what you aren't
seeing is the table gridlines. To display them, create a page of labels
again but this time place your insertion point in the table, click the
Layout tab on the contextual Table Tools (which is only displays when your
insertion point is in a table), then in the Table group, click View
Gridlines.

Thanks for your help Beth, but I'm not following this. There couldn't be
labels there, becuase I wasn't able to define the dimensions. I'll put my
own table onto a Word document and size it. This use to be a breeze, but
Word 2007 makes even the simplest of tasks a full time job.

Thanks again and God Bless,

Labels in Word (all versions) are tables. In Word 2007, the label tool is at
the left end of the Mailings Tab. The dialog that pops up allows you to
select the label just as in Word 2003. If you then click 'New Document' that
label format is transferred to a new document - exactly as in Word 2003. If
you cannot see the table it is because the gridlines are hidden. Beth has
already told you how to display them.
