Description Unknown 2002-06-24 14:52:22 UTC 
Your last "resolution" didn't address my issue, cute and curt as it was. First
off I had read the help files, they just won't let me get to where I need to get to.
I am trying to set up a sheet of labels (based on Avery 8660) to write in mames
for place cards. When the sheet is created, I am unable to format the labels. I
am accustomed to being able to do this in MS Office by simple dragging my curser
over the entire sheet, and then formating each label field with the same font,
size and allignment. I am NOT trying to use database information or fields, (you
don't have that in your application do you? ) 
I would hate to think I have to return to "Word" 2000 just to do labels.
Otherwise I think your application is terrific. I am just really stuck on this
simple task, and your help files do NOT address my needs on this.
Your return comment could be appreciated, and a soultion would be REALLY
appreciated.

I hope following description will help:
- Menu File - New - Labels - Avery 8660 or adjust your own lable on 
TabPage Format.
- Click TabPage Options and enable checkbox "Syynchronize contents".
- Click the button New Document, a button named Synchronize Lables
should on top with the new document.
- Fill in the first frame on top left and click the Synchronize Lables
button
-> All frames should include the same content.

Changing the lable format by dragging with mouse:
- Select a frame
- Context menu Frame... - TabPage Otpions
- Disable the protect check box for Position and Size
-> Now you can change the size of the lable by mouse but the
Synchronize button will not support to adjust the other frames.

And yes we have a database which you can use by creating new labels.
Anyway all database connection can be used that is listed under the
Menu Tools - Data Sources... where you can also add new ones.

Using help should be effective, when you click the help button on the
label or any current dialog.

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved
<wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for
details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
