Report Header

[sk1]

I have a label report(for name and address), that needs to be printed on a plain paper(not label papers) for which I would like to include a title for ever page. How would I do this. I tried placing a label/textbox in page header in center but this messes up my report format. How do I print the labels in a column format and yet have the heading printed on every page.

Thanks for your time

SK,

If you go to your Design View for your label report, you should see the Report Header butts right up against the Detail... right click, pick Page Header/Footer and put your text in there.

It will potentially mess up your spacing for printing the labels to actual label paper, but it will get text on the top of each page as you asked.

Thanks, CJTYO for a response

"It will potentially mess up your spacing for printing the labels to actual label paper, but it will get text on the top of each page as you asked"- this is what exactly my problem is. Do you know how to over come this? thanks

sk1,

Well, no. Labels are very specifically sized and not designed to have extra stuff put on the top or bottom of the page. Labels get peeled off and stuck on something else, therefore there is no need for a header or footer because once the labels are removed there's nothing but blank paper.

You COULD make sure you put buffer space so that when you print to the actual labels they start printing on the second line of your labels and your header information would take up the first line of labels. But I'm at a loss as to why you'd want to do this?

If you just want columns, using the Page Header/Footer will push everything down evenly. The only printing problem would be if you were then going to try printing to the actual LABELS themselves.

Does that help?

I agree with CJTyo. If you are not printing on actual label stock, why not simulate labels with a multi-column report where you can put a page header that can span the entire page??
