Text boxes on Labels
rition[ at ]hotmail.com 06.07.2006 22:02:07
Hi

I am trying to set up a label document with 14 labels with two text
boxes on each label. It's a real pain copying them onto each label. I
have tried a macro but that puts the boxes on the first label and I
have to drag it down to each label.

Is there anyway that I can enter my two blank text boxes on the first
label and then copy them to all the remaining labels?

I need to put a different address in each text box.

Thank you

Why not just split each cell and avoid the text boxes altogether?

Thank you that works beautifully, I never realised that I could do
this.

Splitting the labels is the better approach in this instance, but it if you
ever need to duplicate table cell contents that include elements such as
text boxes or graphics, the macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm will do that.
