SYMPTOMS
When a Works 2.0 label document is opened in Works 3.0 and converted to the Works 3.0 format, print preview shows the starting page number as LBL 2 instead of LBL 1.

Saving the document in Works 3.0 format does not correct the problem.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 3.0 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0a for Windows.

To have a correct starting page number, create a new label in a new Word Processor document. The information in the existing document can be copied and pasted into a new Works 3.0 Word Processor document using the following steps:


 * 1) Highlight just the placeholders in the converted Works 2.0 document.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
 * 3) From the File menu, choose Create New File.
 * 4) From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes/Labels.
 * 5) Select the Mailing Labels tab and place your cursor in the Label section.
 * 6) Press CTRL+V on your keyboard to paste the copied information.
 * 7) Select the correct label size from the list or choose Custom and enter the appropriate measurements.
 * 8) Choose Create Label and save the document.



Steps to Reproduce Situation

 * 1) Open a Works 2.0 label document in Works 3.0.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Print.
 * 3) Select Mailing Labels under What To Print.
 * 4) Choose the Preview button.
 * 5) Choose Yes when Works asks if you want to convert earlier Works mailing labels to the Works for Windows 3.0 format.
 * 6) In the Choose Database box, select the database to use.
 * 7) Choose OK to merge all the records.

The starting page numbers say LBL2 instead of LBL1.
