Aptiva - Creating and printing mailing labels in Works for Windows
Applicable to: United States
Once a Works database has been created with all of the mailing information, you will need to create a new word processing file using the field names that will print on the labels. The database and word processor files will then be merged together to print out the labels. Follow these steps to create the word processing file:
1. Open your database file.
2. Select File, Create New File.
3. Select Word Processor.
4. When the blank typing screen appears, select "Insert" from the menu bar and choose "Database Field".
5. Select the database you want to use from the "Databases" box.
6. In the "Fields" box, choose the field you want printed on each label and choose [OK]. A placeholder will appear on your screen indicating what field information will be printed on the label and where.
7. Type any text, spaces, or punctuation you want before or after the placeholders.
8. Repeat this procedure until all appropriate placeholders are inserted and positioned properly.
9. Save the word processing file once the placeholders for the label are correct.
In order to print the labels, the database and word processor file just created will have to be merged. Follow these steps to merge the two files:
1. Open the database file that contains the mailing information. Then open the word processor file created above, so that both files are open at the same time.
2. Make sure that the labels are loaded properly into your printer. Select "File" from the menu bar.
3. Select "Print Labels".
4. Select the database file you are using from the Databases box.
5. Measure in inches the distance from the top of one label to the top of the next label. Enter this measurement for the Vertical spacing.
6. If you have more than one label across a page, measure the distance from the left edge of one label to the left edge of the next. If you have only one label across, measure the length of that label. Enter the measurement for the Horizontal spacing.
7. Type in the number of labels you have across the page.
8. You can run a print test for alignment by selecting "Test" in the middle of the dialog box. Adjust the margins and page measurement through Page Setup & Margins until you are satisfied with the way they print. The top and left margins may need to be changed to "0". Repeat the test until the alignment is correct.
9. You will then be prompted to print the labels, run another test, or to cancel. If you are ready to print the labels, then select "Print Labels".
