Re: book label?

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

We'll never know unless he comes back to tell us, but I think he was looking for a design as much as he was looking for a mechanism. If he looked in Word for labels, I would hope he would eventually stumble over the Labels dialog, especially if he was using standard labels such as Avery since the package would probably mention that Word had support for them (and of course Avery also provides templates).

Is "howcome" one word now? I don't think so.

What he didn't realize to ask for was a label device (without merge)
rather than a template, and Graham pointed him in the right direction.

Howcome my stalker didn't rise up when I noted that thank-you notes
should always be hand-written?

Howcome my stalker didn't rise up when someone else pointed out that
there shouldn't be two spaces after a period?

In this case what you're missing is that what the OP is asking for is not a
template for creating multiple different but similar documents (as you might
with, say, a report template) but a template that includes a design. The
templates I pointed to online are of this type. They include graphics and
layout, requiring only that the user add a name. So in this sense, templates
are available and are useful to those (like me) who have only minimal design
skills.

Subcommander mini-max is making up lies and fantasies about me again.

I never said such a template doesn't exist.

I implied that there would be no point in such a template, because
bookplates are one-off things.

I'm not responsible for the fact that subcommander mini-max doesn't
know what a bookplate is or is for (and that ducksrusmrducks may not
know the usual name for what he's looking for, but it was fully
identifiable from his description "This Book Belongs To book label".
Moreover, since in my response I supplied the usual name for what he
was looking for, if he still wanted such a template he would be able
to search for it and, as Suzanne found, find some.)

The world would be a much better place if subcommander mini-max would
simply never again look at any posting from me (and would stop sending
me emails).
