Works Version 8 and Labels

Donald Sessler · Guest

Just started fooling around creating labels by creating my own Works DB of
addresses. I use Avery #8160 and see if I want a full page of 30 like names
I create the DB to have the same 30 names (that's what one page of 8160
holds). Is there a way that I can SELECT names from a address data base and
also any ideas on how I can start the 1st label on say the 3rd row of the
label sheet?
TIA

The following is instruction for Mailing Labels using my Works 6.0
version.

Suspect they will apply to your version as well.

Mailing Labels

1. Get a blank word processing screen in the Works 6.0 format.

2. Get the Tools menu and click on Labels (not on mail merge) then on
the bottom button for mailing labels and on OK.

3. Select the label size you want and click on New Document.

4. Click on the box for Merge information from another type of file
and select your database as the source (not the address book).

5. Now you will see a page of labels the upper left one will be white
and the others shaded. Use the Insert Fields dialogue box to insert
the fields you want on your label in the white label.

6. Click on View Results and you will see the first label in the
white space. Scroll with the scroll bar at the bottom of the View
Results dialogue box to see all the labels in succession.

7. Click on Print Preview to see all of the labels on the pages. If
you need to edit any label you will need to go back too View Results
and scroll to the label to edit. This way you can change the font or
color on any label.

8. If you want to change the font for all of the labels or have the
print colored go to the Edit menu, click on Select All and select the
font and color you want for all of the labels.

9. Print the labels on plain paper first to be certain they fit on
the label paper. You may have to adjust margins to make them fit.

Re: Is there a way that I can SELECT names from a address data base

You can use ==>Tools ==>Mail Merge ==>Filter and Sort.

If you had used Address Book as data source 'Select Names' would be
available.

Re: how I can start the 1st label on say the 3rd row

You cannot.

When I have a label sheet with partial labels left, I use Multi-entry, this
displays all labels on the sheet and input can be put on selected label.

Hope this helps,
