Hi Jose,
I tried what you suggested, I was getting errors on the line
from glon.contrib.pyfpdf.pdflabels import PDFLabel ... it does not seem to
exist, and cannot find how to load this
so, my other option seems to be to get all of the text inside of one cell,
so I used your "more_text" from below, it works ('sort of") ... it lists
all of the text inside the one cell, but
the program is ignoring the "\n" page breaks, if I can get those to work, I
am almost done
then I have to figure out how to create the pages side by side, but I want
to tackle one thing at a time.
I am sure when I get to my next issue of printing the labels where there
are 3 labels across and 10 down, maybe I will have to figure out
how to use the PDFLabel, but for right now I just want to get this to work.
thanks for all of your help!!
Regards,
