how to print wrist bands

[hay-j]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to print wristbands through a merge? We
have tons to make and would prefer to use technology instead of facing hand
cramps. Help!

If you're referring to the kind of wristband that holds a paper slip with
the printing on it, and if the slips come as perforated sections of a
page-size sheet, then Word will handle the job in the same way as printing
mailing labels.

You can use the label dialog to print one at a time. For more than that, use
the mail merge to labels, as explained at
