Hi Peter,
Printed Labels? ... I've done this at least 10 times using Avery labels
and MS-Word. It's not that difficult.
Regards,
David

Use WP reveal codes on any reasonably complex MS document to see just what kind
of cr*p is generated. It takes a long time to clean up the mess.
My wife won't use anything but WP on her machine, and I don't blame her.
AFAIK, MS still can't do lawyerly "Tables of Authority" at all. WP has done it
forever, and as a result pretty much dominates the professional lawyer niche. Plus they
have a huge medical office professional following for other features unique to that
environment.
And don't even try to do printed labels with MS. WP has done it right and easy
forever.

Old WP users, among whom I count myself, mourn the loss of reveal-codes mode.
When my company switched from WP to Word (which I still think was largely my
fault), I judged that Word was easier to use for the easy things
- italics and bold at keystroke, for instance - but harder to control for the
more advanced things. I've figured out headers/footers, for example,
footnotes, even indices and ToCs. But I struggle with them still. WP was
better in that regard, in my opinion.
