I think I've used the label designer less than a dozen times in 10 years so even though I'm the first to respond I'm by no means the best. I do not know of a way to change the orientation of the text in a report or label in R:BASE. I, too, would have tried landscape first. I know you can alter the text orientation in Publisher and I know the mail merge facility is less steps than it is in Word, so, failing all else, export the data to a text file and do a mail merge from Publisher. >If this is not possible in v6.5, wouldn't it be nice if it was available in >v7.0? > >Cheryl Warmest regards, Tom Grimshaw coy: Just For You Software tel: 612 9552 3311 fax: 612 9566 2164 mobile: 0414 675 903 post: PO Box 470 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia street: 3/66 Wentworth Park Rd Glebe NSW 2037 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: www.just4usoftware.com.au "... the control of impulse -- is the first principle of civilization."-- Will Durant, Pulitzer Prize winning philosopher, writer and historian the most needed product in the world can be found at www.thewaytohappiness.org This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential to the intended recipient and may be privileged.
