NEW to Word - Mail Merge Template with Graphics for Name Tags
Has anyone done a name tag layout with a graphic background along with merge
fields and saved as a template? I am new to Word 2000 and I know that there is mail merge documents so I can sent a *.txt file from Access and merge it to word. But now I need to add a graphic so that I can do 4 name tags per page. Anyone have any info on how I can do that? ANY help would be appreciated. CLM |

Are you merging a graphic (different for each record) or do you simply want
to merge text into nametags that have graphic elements? If the latter, nametags are labels in Word. See Graham Mayor's site http://gmayor.com for his word tip page about graphics on labels. I don't know the answer if you are trying to merge an actual graphic like a photo. While I assume it would be possible, I don't have a clue how I would approach it, other than that your data source will have to be something other than a txt file. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Charles,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Yup I am doing a label type format with the same graphic on each. It didn't even dawn on me to set it up as a label format. Thanks for the direction.
