Basic but frustrating
Hi-Trying to print some checks using excel data and word. Problem is
moving/placing fields inb the right place. We chose a custom label to make 3 on a page check template. All went well until we tried putting the 4 fields where they go. Name, amount numerical, amound text dollars and location in memo field, We have all the sawitches correct, everything. but placing the fields is killing us. How can you move them around? we tried most everything, but obviously not the right thing. Or once they are inserted is that it, no more movement? Hope I w explianed this right. Thanks Luke |

You may need to split each of the three cells of the table that amounts to
your custom label into a number of individual cells so that you can position the mergefields in the appropriate cells. I am not sure how you tried to move them, but they can certainly be moved around, just like any other text by using the tab key, the enter key, setting paragraph indents, etc. etc. -- Hope this helps.
