Labels in Word 97

[J Schaake]

This concerns making / printing labels in MS WORD. Unknown version of MS WORD at her work site, but at Home use MS WORD 97. Using stick-on LABELS: Avery #5160, 30 to a sheet

How can I (actually the lovely women in my life) make labels in MS WORD where each label on the page is different AND IS NOT an address. MS WORD will print 1 per page or all on the page would be the same label (i.e. duplicates), because they are not addresses

Each label on the page would be distinctly different, i.e # of lines, size Fonts, obviously different wording. (usually all scientific/medical labels and label for equipment files)

She has given up and has been using an older edition of AMI PRO, because it does what she wants, (and apparently works fine) but the program is not officially approved by her company, and not supported by her IM dept, or MS for that matter

If you need add'l info, please advise, and we will provide as best as possible

Thank yo

Click the New Document button in the Tools | Envelopes and Labels dialog.
This gives you a full sheet of labels to format as you choose. They are set
up as a table, so be sure table gridlines are displayed (Table | Show
Gridlines) so you can see the label boundaries.

A couple of methods come to mind, depending on what she is doing:
1) Create a sheet of labels (all the same label) in the label wizard. You
want a new document of these.
2) Edit the labels by hand to suit.
-or-
Use a mailmerge to labels. This requires a datasource. This can be combined
with the first method to further customize individual labels.

For more on mailmerge follow the links at

Meister's articles.

Note that in Word labels are nothing more than specially formatted tables.
You can manipulate them using the Tables toolbar and commands under the
Tables menu.
