Problem

Solutions: The advanced merge command {FOR}var~start~stop~step~ can be used to print multiple labels using the same name. The steps for creating a primary file, using this command, are as follows:

1.      Enter the desired label Paper Size/Type code in Document Initial Codes
2.      Exit to the document screen
3.      Enter Merge Codes and select More (Shift-F9, 6-More)
4.      Type F to move the cursor to the {FOR} statement and press Enter. You will be asked for the following information:
      a. Variable - type 1 and press Enter
      b. Start - type 1 and press Enter
      c. Stop - this will be the number of labels you want to print
      d. Step - type 1 and press Enter
      After entering this information, {FOR}1~1~#of labels~1~ will appear on the screen
5.      On the same line, type the first line of the label, and press Enter to move down a line. Next type the text for the second line, and press Enter. Continue like this until the address is complete.
6.      After typing the text for the label, end the last line with a hard page break (Ctrl-Enter - [HPg])
7.      After the [HPg], enter the {END FOR} statement (Shift-F9, 6)
8.      Save the text as the primary file
9.      When the file is merged, a secondary file is not used


The primary file should look something like this:

{FOR}1~1~30~1~NAME (assuming 30 labels)
Address
Address
=============================
{END FOR}

Note: When using this format, and a graphic is to be used on each label, the graphic should be defined with the contents set to "Graphic on Disk" (Alt-F9, 1, 1, 2).

See memo number WP51_5422M for another option for printing repeating labels with the same name and address.
