Improving label printing in Word 2002?
A number of people where I work are still using WordPerfect because they
prefer the way it deals with labels (eg, the ability to specify where to print from). Is there a way to do this in Word, or an add-in that will provide improved functionality? Thanks! Mike |

If labels are mail merged to a new document in Word, the paper source (but
not the printer) can be specified. If the active printer in Word is changed before the Labels dialog is opened, the labels will be printed to that printer. -- Suzanne S.

Improving label printing in Word 2002?
The problem is not with the specified printer, but that there is no direct
way to specify which label to print from (eg, row 3, col 2). I have two thoughts on doing this; one would be to recreate the way WP does labels - each label being a separate page or to right an add-in that would provide the option of specifying which row & column a table could be printed from. I have yet to see something that offers either feature but will continue looking. Mike "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

If you click the New Document button, you can type the label text in any
label you like. -- Suzanne S.
