Insert graphic into mailing labels?

[montsemark]

I want to insert a simple logo into return address mailing labels.

This used to be very easy, in a much older version of MS Word for
windows. I'm using MS Office 2004 now.

I searched this group, and found a suggestion from 2003, which notes
you can cut and paste a graphic into a label, which you can, but it is
very time consuming to do it for all 80 labels on the sheet. (You need
to insert it, and the futz with the default positioning Word gives it!)

I've also tried the latest version of Apple's Address Book, which is
VERY easy to insert a graphic into, but with that you can only print a
single label on a page?!

Surely this is not that strange of a thing to be doing? Why can't I
find a way to do it?!

Thanks!
Mark

How about you get the first one right, then put a bookmark around it.

For the second cell, you insert a cross-reference to the bookmark text.

Then copy the second cell, select the other 78, and Paste...

Works here....

Thanks for the reply, John!

I the problem seemed to be with the graphic... I had to format it as
in line with the text before I could select it together with the
text... Eventually I got it all working...

Thanks!
