Re: merging name tags

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

When you do a merge the default is always Times Roman 10pt, you can change this
before you merge to any font, any size. Just be certain your text box is big
enough to accommodate the new font and size.

I had given up on this because I didn't understand what you were saying but
I've been using Pub 2003 for a few months now and I think I understand it a
little better. When I said I wanted to clean up a few of the name tags, I
meant edit the font size, not the actual text. So I have to be able to
complete the merge, create a new file out of it and be able to edit that file
(not my original data file). Does that help any? I'm working on name tags
again, with the same problems, so it's fresh in my mind.

Thanks!!

Sure it is possible. What I meant is to break the merge, do your data edits,
save and then connect the merge again in Publisher. I don't know why your
edits
are not reflected automatically, but it isn't too difficult to reset the
merge.
What program are you using for the data?

I'm not sure what "reset the merge data" means.

I am using a Publisher template for name tags and there's only one name tag
on the screen.

I know I can start over and recreate the merge and print using the task
pane
(Publisher's recommended way to print name tags, labels, etc.) but I
sometimes need to edit the merged text to make it fit better or if I find
out
I spelled something wrong. Maybe this isn't possible?

Are you using a label template? Are you trying to merge with all eight
labels
on
your screen?

After I merged name tags (eight on a page), I saved the file so I could
clean
up any names that weren't fitting properly. When I re-opened the file to
print it, it printed out each name eight times on a page instead of
eight
different names on each page. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!!
