printing labels

  • If you have a template file you don't need to know anything about 'avery label/number' in Word
  • The template has field names Fname, Lname, section, the excel file has First, Last, Section and a bunch of hidden fields. One way to deal with that is to copy all the rows into another sheet(2) rename the fields you need and delete the columns you don't.
  • Open the template file, go mailings/select_recipients, find the excel file then select sheet2.
  • You might then want to go mailings/edit_recipient_list and just select a page worth of names to check that everything is OK
  • Goto mailings/preview/preview_results and then mailings/preview/finish&merge/print_documents.
  • If everything is copascetic goto mailings/preview/preview_results again and toggle preview off then go back to mailings/edit_recipient_list and select all the rest. Then preview and print the rest.
  • If you are using the single column labels, they need to be centered in the paper feed tray.
