The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 4.0, 5.0

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.
