Shipping Label Design
You don't want to put any actual data into a template (.dotx), because
then it will appear in every document, i.e., label, that you base on
that template!

Yea, Doug, I'm almost there! This is a great program for me. *
After changing the name of the file in the program to .dotx, my template
opened in Word, but the variables weren't filled in with the name and
address. *(Just had the Docvariable lines that were in the template.)
Interestingly, when I saved the "label" which I made with your program, it
suggested as a name for the document, the name of the person for whom I was
making the label, even though that name wasn't visible in the document! The
same thing happened when I began with the "company", that is it suggested to
save it as the company name. * *But if I eliminated both the name and the
company from the template and then made a label, it suggested to save it as
the company name.
I think I'm a little confused as to how the program "knows" what the
separate parts of the address (city, state, zip, etc) since I enter the
address in the address box as I would if I were addressing an envelope as
follows:
5 Main Street
Cocoa, VA 24544
I am so close to debugging this that I hope you can help. *Using Office and
