Labels : Mail Merge

New Reply

I like to re-use labels I have already set up, however (Word 97), say I want to change the format of one of the lines, I have to do this individually to 33 labels on the page. Is there some master view where I can change them all at once?

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Hi
You could try a search & replace with formatting in the “standard” label document.
e.g
<>
could be replaced with <> formatted in Patatino, red, 36 pt font

Just use the standard EDIT | Replace dialog box and note at bottom centre the format button

Taking this one step further, can I change/add fields without changing every label?

Add, no… Word does not allow for adding a field in the Replace dialog. However, you can use it to change fields by viewing the code (Alt+F9) and then changing the components of the fields. After the replace has been completed, select the document (Ctrl+A) and update fields (F9).
