Hmmm. . . i've conqoured this problem ( i have no idea how). But It's only producing one page of labels? I've read other people have had the same problem, but i don't understand how i can get passed this problem. I'm desperately trying to finish this as i have 24,000 labels to produce and like everyone else i want to go home! On Fri, 2006-12-22 at 08:39 -0500, G.
