Hello, I still haven't found the routine for making a multitude of different address labels, but I'm on my way... Look in the Help (F1) under address labels: you start with File>New>Labels and follow the instructions there, right till you have the lay-out of your label defined (which fields from your database or spreadsheet do where) - don't forget the synchronise option! Then, instead of making the labels here (getting the data from the database and printing), you go to Tools > Assistant Standard Letter and work with steps 6, 7 and above all 8 (saving, printing and sending). I have an excellent manual for this job, but it's in Dutch (from the Brussels government) and it's at home, I'm at the job ;-) HTH anyway -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
