using label wizard

[Guest]

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows XP. I installed my Office
2000 and it was working fine until I tried to create a new set of labels. I
have done this numerous times before so do know the procedure. When I
clicked on the label wizard it would not proceed to the chooses for setting
up the label. Anyone had a problem with this and what did you do to correct
it? Is it something with Windows XP or what? I make a lot of mailing labels
so need some assistance. Thanks.

Have you defined a default printer in Windows?

 

[Guest]

Yes, I have. Printing is not the problem, my previously set up labels print
fine. When I choose the label wizard and I fill in the table I wish to use,
it just stops right there and goes no further. Does not go to any of the next
question screens.

I usually build label reports from scratch without the wizard so I have
never seen this issue. Unless someone else has a better idea, you may need
to re-install Access/Office. Maybe installing the latest service packs would
help.

How do you build a label report from scratch? I have not done that but what
would like to know how it is done as that could solve my problem easily.
thanks in advance for your assistance.

Set the detail section height to your label height. Set the width of the
report to your label width. Select page setup and enter the number of
columns. Don't allow the section to grow. Add text boxes based on the fields
in your report's record source.

Thanks, I have not had a chance to try that, but will soon. Thanks for your
help.
