Labels/ Mailmere with a border

R

rition

Hello

I have been asked to create a mailmerge document for name labels with
each name/label having a border around them.

I have tried using text boxes and autoshapes and whilst I can get them
on the label I can't see the text.

The label that I am using is the 7160.

Please can someone tell me if this is possible and if so how to do it.

TIA

Labels are basically a template with a table formatted to match the label.
So create a blank page of 7160s using the New Document button. Now format
the table borders with a wide border. This should now print so that each
label has the requisite border. Save the template and mailmerge to a
document from the template.
