Address labels
I have recently started working for a company who have contact addresses in
Outlook. I need to type individual labels for the letters I type. I have created a template for the size of label they use. Up to now, I have been creating autotext entries for the labels as I don't ever need a full mail merge. This will obviously not be a satisfactory method as the number of contacts I need increases. I am wondering whether it would be better to set up an Access database although this seems a bit much to bring up just one label. The other problem is to leave whatever I create easy for the guys in the office to use when I am on holiday! The last person in my job made dozens of sheets of labels - definitely OTT when only a couple of labels may be needed for a client over several months! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks ab |

Address labels
If you have Outlook as your default e-mail application, you can insert
addresses from Outlook contacts into documents, including labels from the label wizard.

Address labels
Thanks, Graham
I have used the macro code to insert the address from Outlook which seems to work OK. I still have the problem outlined in the recent topic "Labels" - when I insert an address using my label template (each label has a left indentation of 1 cm and the cell is centre-aligned in Table Properties, only end of cell mark on label) - an extra blank line is inserted after the address. I am wondering now if the problem is in Outlook itself or in Word. It's not really a problem for me to delete the extra line but I would love to know what is causing it! ab "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

It seems likely that the extra line has been saved in the Outlook data.

Address labels
I think I see what is happening now. When I open a document based on my
label template, there is just the end of cell mark (¤) in the centre of the cell. I then insert address, which is placed above the ¤, which is then moved down one row - which makes it appear as if it were another paragraph. The address, therefore, is one row higher than it should be and I have to press Delete to move the ¤ up to the end of the last line of the address. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
