Problem with copying frames
Using Word 2003 I created 2 label templates. Template 1 has 6 labels to a
page in landscape mode. Label 2 has 4 label to a page in portrait mode. Each label has a frame at the bottom with our company and web information. The frame is at a fixed position and does not move with the text. When I change the first label to use different text, then copy that entire label and paste it to the other labels on the page the frame is copied to all other labels without any problem. However, when I do the very same on the template 2 the frame is not copied to the next label, which forces me to copy the frame separately. Once I copied the frame to label 2 then select that entire label and paste it to labels 3 and 4 the frame is copied as well. I checked the frame setup which appears to be the very same. I just can't figure out why one template works and the other one doesn't. Thanks for any help in advance. |

Problem with copying frames
Hi Gerd,
Are the frames in both templates anchored to the same points (eg each label or all on the first label)?

Problem with copying frames
The first one is anchored at a fixed position. When copying on the 6-label
template the frame is copied to the other 5 labels with the correct position. "macropod" wrote in message ...

Problem with copying frames
Hi Gerd,
Yes, but how do the anchor points in the two versions compare? Are they all anchored to the same point(s)? Cheers "Gerd" wrote in message ... The first one is anchored at a fixed position.

the advanced layout tab. Horizontal Absolute position .07" to the right of Column Vertical Absolute position 2.87" below Marging. Options Move object with text unchecked, Allow overlap checked Lock anchor unchecked Layout in table cell checked Those values are the same for each label on the page. On the 4 to a page template have Horizontal Absolute position .32" to the right of Column Vertical Absolute position 2.97" below Marging.

Problem with copying frames
Hi Gerd,
I don't think we're on the same wavelength here. When you click on a floating shape, such as a textbox, a little anchor symbol should appear somewhere on the page. That tells you what the shape is anchored to. For all the textboxes, are the anchor positions consistent across both documents? If not, making them so (you can select & drag them around) in the problem document should provide a fix. Cheers "Gerd" wrote in message ...
