Cynthia,
To make the comma separated value file from Legacy select the following
print options.
Text File
With quotes
group fields on one line.
The output will be a csv file (even though Legacy will assign a .txt
ending).
I do not use Word or Excel enough to tell you how to proceed from there
to print labels.
By the way, When I tested the Avery 8660 labels in my Legacy 5.0.0.258 I
did not see the spacing problem you saw. then I realized I did not have
the default fonts set.
Try setting your font sizes in the What to Print screen. When the Name
font was changed to 14 point from 16 point the label pages worked in
preview.

Hello Kraig,
I hope someone has a solution. I have read what you wrote, but I
don't know how to do what you are suggesting. Can you or someone
detail how I would do that beginning with the steps in Legacy. I am
very short on time now and am worried that I am going to let everyone
down.
Thank you! Looking forward to detailed baby steps from you or someone
from Legacy. I have had my program for 6 years now. I am surprised
that this has not been fixed in that six year time frame. Other
people have had to have had the same difficulty and reported it. I
don't know what happened the other two times I needed the labels, but
I think I had my computer literate assistant at the time run the
labels. Have no idea what she did, and she is no longer an option
for me.

Maybe I have a workaround here. It just occurred to me & I haven't
thought it through completely, but it could work.
Can you export all the address label info you need as a "CSV"
(comma-separated text) file, then read it into MS Word, OpenOffice,
or some such program that has mail-merge and label capabilities?

Hi Geoff,
Met you in Nashville last year when I took your Legacy class. I
have been working to change all the erroneous listings since then
and am still not done! But, I am paying attention now to the
listings and know that Location means just that, not my
extraneous notes.
Now down to the Address Label problem. It's fine that you fix it
in the next build, but that will require me to purchase trhe 6.0
release and I am all right with the 5.0. The additional features
that are in the 6.0 I have when I purchased the GenSmarts program
in Nashville.
And, that does NOT solve my problem right now. Is there a
SOLUTION so that I can print out the labels for THIS reunion? It
is why I switched from FTM to Legacy. I switched ONLY for the
name tags and labels for our reunions. Of course, then I did
'fall' for Legacy and now use it exclusively.
I hope that you will be able to send me a 'work around' solution
for NOW. Immediacy is VITAL. Yes, my CAPS are to call attention
to my now needs.
See you in Chicago at the National Geneaology Society conference
just prior to my REUNION that I am addressing the labels.
