I finally sort of figured out how to create a sheet of labels and populate
it with a database of addresses. However, there is much about this process
that is non-intuitive and I still have a few questions that I was hoping
someone could answer.
1: All I see is a single sheet of labels even though there are many more
addresses and all of them were selected when the label sheet was
populated. Is there a way to have Writer create multiple label sheets
as needed to handle the entire set of data that is selected or am I
really forced to populate and print, populate and print, one sheet at a
time?
2: If I do have to do things one sheet at a time, how do I populate the
next set of data? I loaded the first 20 addresses fine and printed.
I then highlighted the next 20 addresses and pressed the "Synchronize
Labels" button again and all I got was a sheet with the previous
data's first label duplicated 20 times across the sheet. None of the
newly selected data was used. This is very confusing.
3: Why is there a "Synchronize contents" check box on the Labels pop-up
menu? When would you not want this option checked and what is it
actually describing? What are we synchronizing? The database to the
fields?
4: After placing fields on the first label, the instructions say to access
the Fields pop-up menu (Ctrl-F2), select "Next record" an then press
"Insert". Again, I really do not understand what is happening here. Can
someone please explain the purpose of this operation.
Thanks for any help that you can offer. I will say that I find the
documentation accompanying this tool to be lacking in clarity.
