Edit Label Layout
Using the Tools, Letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels command, I select
the label I want to use. I have to manually change the paragraph formatting (highlight the address and right click, select paragraph), every time I use the label. Trying to change the margins or creating a custom label doesn't work. Is there any way to "save" my new paragraph settings within the label definition? Thank!! |

Edit Label Layout
Hi ?B?bW9tMnRocmVl?=,
Using the Tools, Letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels command, I select the label I want to use. I have to manually change the paragraph formatting (highlight the address and right click, select paragraph), every time I use the label. Trying to change the margins or creating a custom label doesn't work. Is there any way to "save" my new paragraph settings within the label definition? The paragraph settings usually come through from the Normal template. My suggestion would be to set up a label "page" (with no text) to just the way you want it. Then File/Save As as a "Word Template (*.dot)" file. This should put the template in your templates collection (what you get if you File/New and look at the templates on "My computer"). Just select that and whammy! you get a new document with the page of labels, ready to go.

We already have that set up, but what the users want is for the template in
the envelopes and labels command to be set up this way so they can automatically generate labels for letters they have typed with fewer steps Anyone else have any ideas?

Hi ?B?bW9tMnRocmVl?=,

Since this is the default for all new documents (unless the document is created from a specific template) I suspect your users would like this approach even less. But that's the only other option. If you can get them to use other templates for writing the letters, then that would work.
