I like the casual way you say that, Peter. My experience with labels
from a spreadsheet-based address book is anything but 'knocking it
off'. It was a process of taking it step by step, repeating many of
the steps, and in the end I had a document containing lables which
could very nearly be used with out any editing, having in the process
passed a stage where I had 280 identical labels, and another stage
where I had 280 pages with 24 identical labels on each. In the end,
as I say, I had 280 labels.
One day, when I have a little time, I'm going to redo the whole
process and document every step, and I'll post it somewhere for other
idiots to follow.
I've already done that. It's called Chapter 11 of the Writer Guide.
