Problem

Solutions: Many customers have requested an easy way to print the same information over and over on labels, such as return addresses. An easy way to accomplish this is as follows: 1. Press Ctrl-F10 (Macro Define) and press Alt or Ctrl and a letter (for example: Alt-A). Press Enter on the Macro Description. Type in the desired name and address on the document screen and add a hard page break (Ctrl-Enter) at the end. Press Ctrl-F10 to turn macro define off. 2. Clear the document screen. Press Shift-F8 (Format), 3 (Document), 2 (Initial Codes) and select the Paper Size/Type definition for labels. (The customer may need to use the Labels macro or simply define the Paper Size/Type definition before entering the Document Initial Codes screen.) 3. On the document screen, press Escape. Type in the number of labels you want to print, and without pressing Enter, invoke the macro (as in the example above, press Alt-A). 4. Have the customer enter View Document (Shift-F7, 6) to see the labels ready to print. Here is an alternative way to print the same information on multiple labels: 1. Begin by placing a label Paper Size/Type code in Document Initial Codes (Shift-F8, 3, 2) 2. Create a primary file containing these codes: [Mrg:TEXT]name~How Many Labels Do You Want? ~ [Mrg:FOR]counter~1~[Mrg:VARIABLE]name~~1~[Mrg:FIELD]1~[HRt] [Mrg:FIELD]2~[HRt] [Mrg:FIELD]3~[HPg] [Mrg:END FOR] 3. Create a secondary file with the information to be repeated. For example: WordPerfect Corporation[Mrg:END FIELD][HRt] 1555 N. Technology Way[Mrg:END FIELD][HRt] Orem, UT 84057[Mrg:END FIELD][HRt] [Mrg:END RECORD][HPg] 4. Merge the files together Note: The merge codes used can be found by pressing Merge Codes (Shift-F9, 6). For detailed information on this feature, see Merge in the reference section of your WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS manual.
