There is a way to do this and it's not that hard, it's just (in my opinion) not real obvious either. 1. File > New > Labels 2. Select label type 3. Select database; move desired database fields to label text field, adding any spaces, commas, line breaks, etc. as needed 4. Click New Doc. 5. Tools > Mail Merge Wizard 6. Step 1: Click "Use Current Document" 7. Skip steps 2-7 8. Click step 8 "Save, print, send" 9. Click "Save merged document"; click "Save as single document" 10. Click "Save Documents". Give document a name when asked. 11. Open saved document. A question will be asked: "Update all links". Answer "No" 12. Now you can view the document before printing, edit it as you like, etc. That should do it. Let me know if it works for you. This process works fine for me.

I've been following the various threads dealing with labels but haven't seen anything relevant to my problem. I did discover a workaround that might be useful to others: 1) Save the uneditable .odt as a .doc file (converts fields to text). 2) Save the .doc file back to .odt. Unfortunately, that cumbersome process is not a big selling point when trying to convince others to switch from WordPerfect to OpenOffice. :-( Thanks again, Arn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
