Re: [users] Extracting pictures from a file
You might try the utility found at Irfanview.com.

Re: [users] Creating labels from database - more records than fit a page
How about a template for the Avery 5452, 1-1/2" x 4", 3 labels per sheet (the sheets are only 6" long)? I'm still working on assigning the F4 key and working on the filling the data fields. - Original Message - From: "Peter Hillier-Brook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 4:42 PM Subject: Re: [users] Creating labels from database - more records than fit a page > Matt Needles wrote: > > Peter Hillier-Brook wrote: > > > >> Matt Needles wrote: > >> [cut] > >> > >>> I then tried creating labels my own way, with the File->New->Labels, > >>> and inserting a single-celled table in the first label, setting the > >>> row height to 1.00inch, fixed (not auto-height), and center text > >>> vertically.

Re: [users] Labels
I customized the F4 key to View--Data Record but it still just puts a bullet and tab in my template. The contrl F9 also places a tab or some other formatting in the template. - Original Message - From: "Cor Nouws" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 3:42 PM Subject: Re: [users] Labels > Hi Richard, > > > Richard Robbins wrote: > > > I have done everything you asked down to where I press F4 but still get a > > bullet and tab placed in the label document. > Pls try ToolCustomize and then choose Reset (or such, close to the > bottom on the right).

Re: [users] Labels
I have done everything you asked down to where I press F4 but still get a bullet and tab placed in the label document. I can open the data source through the View options but it still fails to populate any labels when I press the Data-to-Field icon. I then did another install from the Oo2.0 download but I am getting the same thing this time. One question I have is when I begin the label document with File-New-Templates and Documents what do I select after that? If I click Templates, I see your Avery label samples and double click one of those. Should I do something else at that point? - Original Message - From: "Peter Hillier-Brook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 12:32 PM Subject: Re: [users] Labels > Richard Robbins wrote: > > This makes the third try at following the exact steps in your tutorial but > > no fields are populated in the label template when I press the > > Data-to-Fields button.

Re: [users] Labels
This makes the third try at following the exact steps in your tutorial but no fields are populated in the label template when I press the Data-to-Fields button. Also, the F4 key does not bring up the data source view; rather, it places a bullet in the label at the cursor. So I'm not sure what that means. - Original Message - From: "Peter Hillier-Brook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [users] Labels > Richard Robbins wrote: > > It might.

Re: [users] Labels
I have downloaded your tutorial and used your label template and spreadsheet and nothing happens when I press the Data-to-Fields button. I do select the records in the database prior to that with the cursor in the first label of the template. Any other suggestions? - Original Message - From: "Peter Hillier-Brook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 2:37 PM Subject: Re: [users] Labels > Richard Robbins wrote: > > I can do form letters just fine but when it comes to labels, the same things don't work.

It might.

[users] Labels
I can do form letters just fine but when it comes to labels, the same things don't work. The Synchronize button fails to populate the label document. So I'm stuck with only the document with the field names and whatever other info I have typed in.
