= SUMMARY =

When using the Print Labels feature of Works Version 2.0 to print multiple copies of one record, the record prints out only as a single column, one across, regardless of the number entered in the “Number of Labels Across Page:” field.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To print the same record across the page using more than one label, follow the steps below:


 * 1) In the Database, display the List View and move the cursor to the row that contains the record that will be printed.
 * 2) From the Select menu, choose Hide Record; then from the Select menu, choose Switch Hidden Records. The record to be printed will now be the only record displayed in the List View.
 * 3) Extend the highlight down the number of rows as you would like labels printed by pressing F8, then the DOWN key. (For example, if you wanted to print 50 labels for this record, you would copy the record information down 50 rows.)
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Fill Down to copy the selected record into the highlighted area.

5 Using the Window menu, switch to the word processor document that contains the field markers.

 In the Print Labels menu, enter the desired “Number of Labels Across Page:” field option.

Continue with the printing process and the records will be printed across the page.

When printing is completed, be sure to delete the duplicate records created in the database in step 4 above.

Note: This can be done quickly by simply closing the Database file without saving changes when prompted (assuming no desired edits were made prior to printing labels).
