Re: How to format a document for use with address labels
How well do you know CSS. To do what you want, you need to use CSS classes (styles) to set the fonts and size of everything. You also need to look at the client settings for their printer, like remove header and footer and set margins. It can be done, it just takes a little time to set-up. GOOD LUCK!

RE: How to format a document for use with address labels
My suggestion would be to get a MS Word template that has the labels formatted as you would want them (templates like this are usually available). Then, save that as a web archive file (MHT) File Save As. Then use CF to output that MHT file (with the proper label data) and stream it with a content type of application/msword. Should open up in work quite nicely for printing. ...

Re: How to format a document for use with address labels
This is essentially what the custom tag does for you, without all that leg work. You just input the label type and the label data, and bang, the tag opens up word with the labels pre-formatted and ready to print.

Re: How to format a document for use with address labels
Cf_Avery is a tag I've used in the past that sounds right up you alley. I'll second the proposal. CF_Avery works perfectly well.

Re: How to format a document for use with address labels
Another way that works alright is to create a template in word, put a special char in each label, save it as RTF (plain text w/ formatting info), and modify the RTF text prior to sending it to the user, replacing the special char with whatever you want in the label. Not as nice as the table method, which I had always been afraid of due to different browser rendering stuff, but I guess that's silly now. Kinda.
