Bill, Here is the "answer" to what you are seeing... when you are in the "Print Options" window and you have the Export Media/ Direct to ... as being the "Printer" ...
EACH time that you open up the file to print the 1st page, and then the 2nd page, and so on -- you MUST "each time" be sure and go into that "Select" button - to tell the program that you are not starting at the first label on the first sheet... IF you will each time - do this, you will "not" miss any labels... The BETTER way of doing the printing of the labels (page by page - one at a time) would be to have the Export Media/ Direct to .. as being "Preview" ... that way when you are in the Preview window, you can see how many pages you have of labels to print - and you can "select" each page one-by-one and print them one-by-one ... and using this better method - you "never" will miss any labels... I "was" able to "re-create" what you have been seeing - BUT ONLY if I "forgot" to tell the program (each time I brought the file up for the next page and the next page) that the first page's starting position was not at the very first label... Hope that this helps. 73 de Joe WA6AXE "William Hein, AA6TT" wrote: > > You have to print the pages one by one to reproduce the error (the only way I > can print labels on my printer). > > Bill AA6TT > > On Sun, 27 January 2002, "Joseph A.
