Labels are fine in 2.0.2. Would you like to elaborate?
Hi
I am trying to make labels using openoffice 2.0.2 ,the database which in my
case is a .ods file.
While I take the help from the openoffice handbook to do it, I get stuck
after step no.11
The following is the content from the openoofice help for creating labels
from databases.
Printing Address Labels
1.
Choose *File - New - Labels* to open the *Labels* dialog.
2.
Select the format of the label sheets you want to print on. Remember
to mark *Synchronize contents* on the *Options* tab.
3.
Click *New Document*.
4.
When you see the label document, open the data source view by choosing
*View - Data Sources*.
5.
In the data source view, select your address data source table.
6.
Drag the data fields needed for the Address individually into the top
left label. For example, click on the column header NAME and, keeping the
mouse button depressed, drag it into the label. This inserts a field. Put
the fields in order to complete the address in the first label at top left.
7.
Place the cursor at the last text position (after the last field) in
the first label.
8.
Choose *Insert - Fields - Other*, and go to the *Database* tab.
9.
Select the type *Next record*, click on *Insert* and then on *Close*.
10.
You can now synchronize the labels. Click on the *Synchronize* *Labels
* button in the small window.
11.
In the data source view, select the records for which you would like
address stickers, by clicking on the row headers to the left. Use the
*Shift* or *Ctrl* key in the usual way to select several records at
the same time.
12.
On the Table Data bar, click the *Data to Fields* icon.
13.
You can then save and/or print the label document.
However after completion of step no.11 , I am lost in search of the Table
Data bar.
I guess it is only after this last and the most important step the data will
be read to the particular fields.
It was easily been done using openoffice 1.x .
Any explaination on what the step no.12 suggests?
