Word Labels print vertically
I saw a thread with a macro to help print Word labels print vertically. Unfortunately I get a syntax error message at the line "..Columns.Add BeforeColumn:=ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1)"
Here is the original response: You can only do this by sorting the data so that it appears in the correct finished order. Fellow MVP Doug Robbins produced a macro to do this with the original Data source saved as a Word table Sub SortData() ' Macro to assign numbers to data source so that it can be sorted to cause 'labels to print down columns Dim Message, Title, Default, labelrows, labelcolumns, _ i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer Message = "Enter the number of labels in a row" ' Set prompt. Title = "Labels per Row" ' Set title. Default = "3" ' Set default. ' Display message, title, and default value. labelcolumns = InputBox(Message, Title, Default) Message = "Enter the number of labels in a column" ' Set prompt. Title = "Labels per column" ' Set title. Default = "8" ' Set default. labelrows = InputBox(Message, Title, Default) With ActiveDocument.Tables(1) ..Columns.Add BeforeColumn:=ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1) ..Rows(1).Range.Cut End With k = 1 For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.Count - labelcolumns For j = 1 To labelrows ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range.InsertBefore _ k + (j - 1) * labelcolumns i = i + 1 Next j k = k + 1 i = i - 1 If k Mod labelcolumns = 1 Then k = k - labelcolumns + _ labelcolumns * labelrows Next i ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Sort FieldNumber:="Column 1" ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows(1).Select Selection.Paste ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1).Delete End Sub |
