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 -=- Marc Sarrel sarrel@cis.ohio-state.edu | Slow is fine, but...
