Auto Number Lables? Gary 24.07.2006 09:45:02 Hello I use MS Word 2000. I print business cards 16 up, on a page 205mm x 510mm, 2 wide. I need to be able to setup a label print where Word will print numbers 1 to 16 on the first sheet of labels, 17 to 32 on the second, and so on. I can not get the 'Labels' set up to accept a customer page size and have not found a way of label numbering automatically? Can Word 2000 do this and if so how? If not, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can acheive this? Many thanks Gary

Re: Auto Number Lables? Gary 24.07.2006 13:01:02 Hi Greg, thanks for the link, very helpful. But, it doesnt help with setting the page size when creating labels.

Re: Auto Number Lables? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 26.07.2006 17:39:46 Labels in Word are just tables with fixed cell dimensions. So you may need to start with a custom paper size set under Page Setup, then set the top and left margins to suit your label stock and then create a table with the required number of rows and columns with the cells dimensions set to match the size of the labels. -- Hope this helps.
