Mailing Label - User Defined

[tobypsl]

Have done a quick search for a solution but can't find what I am looking for.

I have just attempted to reate a report (CR 8.5) to return names and addresses for print with a Avery L7173 mailing label.

Couple of queries as follows

1. when defining the label dimensions (all pre-defined options appear to be for US labels) I have put in the dimensions for the labels I am using but it has decided that there are 4 labels down and 1 accross - when in fact there are 5 down and 2 across .... this is using the report expert. Do I have to define page size anywhere ...

2. The labels will be for a mix of clients and other contacts. The client name is stored separately from the client address. The other contacts have their names and addresses in a third table. Will I have to run 2 seperate reports (and if so can they be merged) or is there a way to get around this ...

3. Is there a way of putting a parameter query in to tell the report which label to start printing on - it wont always be the first label as we will sometimes be re-using anincomplete sheet.


any help appreciated ... and an existing report template very much appreciated

It may be that the margins for the printer are throwing this off and the type of printer may alter the dimensions slightly, pay attention to the Number of Labels which demonstrates the Across and Down quantities and adjust as required.
