word 97 christmas labels with graphics
I would like to make merged Christmas Card address labels with a graphic. I
have done a google search and read several MVP write-ups but I am confused about the process. Can I insert a graphic on an address label and merge it with my address list? If so, how? I am using word 97 with winxpsp2. Thank you, David |

Hi, David. If I can get the graphic and you tell me the labels you're using,
I can make the template. However, I'd like to be able to upload the file for use by others. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "David" wrote in message ...

word 97 christmas labels with graphics
Anne, Thanks for the offer.
My test label is Avery 8253 and the graphic is a snowflake. I was working with these to learn how to make the labels. Once I knew how to make the labels, my wife and I would select the final graphic and maybe a clear label. David "Anne Troy" wrote in message ... Hi, David.

Doug, Thanks for the answer. I have read the article "Graphics on Labels"
but I am not sure how do it but I will try again. I have tried text boxes and field codes but do not get the results I want. I have searched for address label software thinking that this is a solved task. I find ones to make return address labels; not merge address mail labels with graphics.

OK, I got the INCLUDEPICTURE field code to insert the graphic at the left of
the label but the insert point for text is at the bottom of the label to the right of the graphic. I first thought I would put the graphic in the label and type in the addresses but with the insert at the bottom, only one line shows up. I then formatted the label in mail merge with the includepicture code first then the address element codes. Same problem. How do I fix the text alignment issue or fix my understanding?

It has been a long time since I used Word 97, and I have only a vague idea
of its capabilities in the labels sphere. The web page was written much later. If you can use it to create a new document and add a watermark as described (maybe using the macro to duplicate the graphics) you can then use the document so created as the basis for a label merge. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org David wrote: OK, I got the INCLUDEPICTURE field code to insert the graphic at the left of the label but the insert point for text is at the bottom of the label to the right of the graphic.

Thanks to Anne, Doug, & Graham for your suggestions about how to mail merge
address labels with graphics. I have read the referenced articles and found lots more on google. In addition, I have tried most and some several times. I keep getting closer but so far, no cigar. All require doing something with each label and I have too many to do each one manually. Maybe the problem is Word 97. I am sure there is a pony in there somewhere but I am tired of shoveling. Maybe next year I will start sooner and play with some of the labeling s/w. Thanks again, David "David" wrote in message ... I would like to make merged Christmas Card address labels with a graphic.
