To Suzanne and Jay

I got a few minutes tonight to try - the key phrase was in Suzanne`s reply
"Table Gridlines". I simply found that button on the tool-bar and
toggled the gridlines to "On" - hey presto - I can see the frames (or
boundaries) of my labels again !

Thanks again - much appreciated

Press the New Document button to get a sheet of labels. Make sure you have
table gridlines displayed so you can see the label boundaries.

thanks, yes I found the L7160 in the A4 menu afterwards, and I knew I also
found the toggle-key about grid-lines !

Bad phrasing of the question - what I meant by "grid-lines" was the actual
outline size of each label within the sheet. In "NT" you were shown a
representation of 21 labels, with the outline of EACH label on screen.
This
allowed you to type different text for each label without over-running the
available space.

In the label menu you can load-up the L7160`s, and type a lot of
information
in the address box, but how do you know that it will fit into the space on
a
label.

I want to be able to type in 21 different labels on each sheet ?

My "NT" label-blank is based on the Avery L7160. I have converted to
"XP" and
the grid-lines have gone ! Avery label type L7160 is not listed in the
envelopes and labels men for Office 2003.

How do I get the standard gri-dlines back without having to draw them
"by
hand", or what is the equivalent code for the L7160 ?
