print variable number of copies of labels

[henryl]

I have a need to print a variable number of labels when merging from Excel.
I.E. record 1 may need 5 copies of the same label, record 2 3 copies, record
3 15 copies. The number of copies is a field on the record. Is there a way
to use this field to print the number of copies neede?

TIA

That degree of variability is probably beyond the scope of a field
construction using the Next Record If field. I think that you are going to
have to use Visual Basic to populate the cells of the table that forms the
labels rather than mail merge.
