Last night I found out that Hypercard _stinks_ at generating a set of
mailing labels.  I found two obvious bugs.  I'm using the 11 x 3 sheet
of labels, with no spaces inbetween.  Therefore, each label is 1" high
by 2.8333..." wide.  I had Hypercard set up so that it thought there
were 11 labels vertically on the page and that each one was 1" high.
That's what the report dialog said.  However, the addresses creeped up
higher on the labels as you went further down the page so that the
last row or two were unusable.  And, Hypercard absolutely refused to
print more than four lines on any label in the first row.

So, is there a better mailing label program out there?  Does anyone
know anything about a program called Fast Label?

thanks
