A WordPerfect 8+ macro that prints one label
or business card starting at any position on the sheet. This
is useful when you need an extra label or two for return receipts,
packages, multiple envelopes, file folders, etc.
To use LABLPRNT:
- Format a label or card with Format, Labels.
This will produce a single label or card on screen.
- TIP: You
can record macros (Tools, Macro, Record) to do this for your
favorite label sizes, then assign the macros to toolbar buttons,
keystrokes, or menus. See here
for more on this.
- Add text in the label or card and play the
macro, or play the macro and then add the text.
- TIP:
Alternatively, you can specify a WordPerfect document (.WPD)
that contains just a single formatted and filled out "master"
label that you use frequently, instead of having to format and
fill out a label each time. Just add the following command to
the macro on a separate line, just above the "Check if the
document was formatted for labels" section in the macro
code. Be sure to edit the command to use your path and
filename (use quote marks, too), and follow it with a hard return
by pressing <Enter>; then click the Save & Compile
button on the macro toolbar to save the change. [Thanks to Peggy
Tabar for this tip.]
- FileOpen ("C:\wpdocs\MyShippingLabel.wpd")
Since the macro can start printing labels
from anywhere on the sheet, using it may help save label stock
by allowing reuse of the same sheet, especially if you begin
printing each time from the bottom of the sheet to minimize paper
jamming. See Disclaimer below.
OTHER TIPS:
To print a full sheet with the same
text -- e.g., return address labels or business cards -- use
the author's LABLCOPY macro.
If you use LABLCOPY or some other method to
create a full sheet of labels or cards, then you can easily print
specific labels on the sheet. As Jack Waananen (Corel C_Tech)
says:
"Each label is a 'logical page'. So just
print the 'pages' you want after generating the full page [i.e.,
sheet] of labels.
In other words, if your label page is three
columns by ten rows and you have already used the first 17 labels,
just print pages '18-' (no need to specify the 30 since the last
page is assumed if no number is specified).
To print the fifth row of the above labels,
print pages 13-15."

Important:
The author has used this macro successfully with
a Hewlett Packard LaserJet printers and Avery label stock, reusing
the same physical sheet of stock several times until most (or
all) labels were printed from it, with no ill effects. The stock
was stored in its original box between print runs to keep it
from curling or other damage, thus minimizing the possibility
of paper jams. In his opinion, you should always store and handle
label stock carefully, and always print from the bottom of the
sheet if you intend to reuse it. Loose labels or torn paper backing,
or exposed glue at the top of a partially used sheet, might cause
it to jam in the printer.
However, before you use this macro or try
to print multiple times on the same sheet of stock you should
be aware of the following disclaimer. If you do not agree with the disclaimer, do not use
this macro and simply delete it from your computer.
