= SUMMARY =

You can use tables to print labels horizontally rather than vertically in Microsoft Word versions 4.0 and 5.0 by doing the following:


 * 1) In the main document, set up the labels within the cells of a table, with each cell containing a label definition.
 * 2) The number of columns of labels desired should be controlled by the number of columns in the table. Set the section to 1 column.
 * 3) Choose Print Merge, and the table will be filled left to right rather than top to bottom.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, to set up 1-inch labels in three columns (27 labels per page), do the following:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Section.
 * 2) In the Columns box, set Number to 1, and click the OK button.
 * 3) Create a table that has three columns and nine rows.
 * 4) Enter a label definition into each cell.
 * 5) Highlight the table.
 * 6) From the Format menu, choose Cells.
 * 7) Set Minimum Row Height to -1 inch (or -72 points). Click OK.
 * 8) From the File menu, choose Print Merge.
