You frequently send out mass mailings, and you want to save time by automatically printing the addresses and corresponding POSTNET bar codes on labels. |
Answer:
You can combine the Merge and Labels features of WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS to print labels with bar codes for each record in a merge. To create the labels form file, 1 Choose Merge from the Tools menu then choose Define, or press Merge Codes (Shift+F9). 2 Verify that Form (1) is selected, then choose OK twice to return to the document editing screen. 3 Choose Page from the Layout menu, or press Format (Shift+F8) then choose Page (3). 4 Choose Labels (5). 5 Highlight the correct label size, then choose Select (1). 6 Choose OK. You may make any other modifications to the label in the Labels Printer Info dialog box. If you don't want to make changes, or when you are finished, choose OK again. You are now back at the document editing screen. 7 Choose Merge from the Tools menu then choose Define, or press Merge Codes (Shift+F9). 8 Choose Field (1). Type the name or number of the first field to print, then press Enter. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have added all the mailing address fields. Be sure to arrange the fields in the correct printing order. Now you need to add the POSTNET bar code. 9 Place your cursor where you want the bar code to be printed. 10 Choose Merge from the Tools menu then choose Define, or choose Merge Codes(Shift+F9). 11 Choose Merge Codes (Shift+F9). 12 Select POSTNET(string). You can either scroll down the list, or type the name. When POSTNET(string) is highlighted, press Enter or choose Select. 13 Because you are not entering a specific ZIP Code, choose OK to exit the Parameter Entry dialog box without entering any information. 14 Place the cursor under the right parenthesis character ) in the POSTNET code. 15 Choose Merge Codes (Shift+F9), then choose Field (1). 16 Type the number or name of ZIP Code field, then press Enter. 17 Save the file you have just created. You are now ready to merge this form file with the data file that contains the addresses to be printed. The correct bar codes will be printed on each label.
