how to let everyone access a custom label???
Hi.
I've got a Document A on the server. I print lables from it from Person A account. I've produced a custom lable with the Person A account to print out lables. When Person B signs on to the computer and opens up Document A on the server, Person B cannot use the custom lablel that Person A has made. Question: How can I have users share a custom made label template so they all can see it? For example I go to tools-letters and mailings-envelopes and lables- , click on the Lables tab and adjust the margins on theAvery 5160 address label and save it with a custom name. I can see it of course, but how can I have that show up as custom in everyone's account without logging onto everyone's account individually to set that up? Hopefully I was clear. Thanks. Bryce. |

Two issues here - either save the label document as a template in a common
workgroup templates folder or if it is a custom label in the envelope/label wizard, save the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Custom Labels in which the custom entry is stored and apply it as a registry patch to the other users. (NOTE custom label definitions are only interchangeable between the same Word version). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bryce wrote: Hi.

What are the steps to applying that as a registry patch?

Hi Bryce,
On your PC, where you already have the custom label, go to Start Run and enter regedit and press Enter. The regedit.exe program presents the registry in a tree diagram similar to Windows Explorer's. [Caution: don't change anything while you're in there. Many of the items in the registry are critical to your computer's operation, and others are not so critical but can screw up individual programs. There isn't any "are you sure" prompt, and changes are stored immediately.] Starting at the top of the tree, My Computer, click the plus sign next to the appropriate icons to drill down through the diagram: My Computer HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Custom Labels Click once on "Custom Labels" to select it. On the Registry menu, select Export Registry File. Select a folder to save in, supply a name (regedit will automatically supply an extension of ".reg"), and click the Save button. Close regedit. The resulting .reg file is really just a text file that you can open in Notepad, and it contains the data for the Custom Label key. Distribute this file to other PCs. (Note that the .reg extension may be rejected by some email systems because of security concerns. You can usually work around that by zipping the file.) On the other PC, simply double-click the .reg file. By default the .reg extension is assigned to regedit.exe, which will prompt whether you want to add the contents of the file to the registry. Click Yes (because you know what's in it). Then restart Word to use the custom label. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Bryce wrote: What are the steps to applying that as a registry patch?
