Re: Determining Type of Label Used

Ah, good, then. Judging by the number of typed letters we get in
hand-addressed envelopes (from law firms, for example), it seems that
printing envelopes, even singly, is an art many have not mastered. <g>

And those who know how to address envelopes evidently find that easier than
trying to print a single label (understandable) since many law firms send
large manila envelopes with an addressed #10 envelope taped on as the label.

I too merge directly to envelopes, but the linked pages are more general
than their filenames would suggest.

FWIW, I usually find it more efficient to create a mail merge for
envelopes and address them directly. I don't have an envelope feeder,
so doing hundreds would be a pain, but you still save the time of
sticking labels on the envelopes, and it also looks classier if you
have colored envelopes and don't use clear labels. You can also use
larger type than you might on a label (and include your return
address as well).

By the way, Graham, I've been meaning to thank you.

Thanks to your mailmerge pages, my Christmas cards went out on time
this year. (That's quite a first! <g>)

THANKS!

Dan

I'm using Word 2007. I have a file created by someone else that
contains mailing info formatted as labels. The problem is, I don't
know what type of labels to use! I've tried selecting the Mailings
tab and clicking the Labels button, then the Options button in the
dialog box, but it is showing me a standard Avery label that
definitely doesn't correspond to what's in the file. I believe
that older versions of Word would show the label type currently in
use, but Office 2007 doesn't seem to do this. Does anyone have
any idea how to tell which label product number was used? I can't
ask the person who created the file. Thanks!
