MORE ON MAILING LABELS  by Bert Harvey

     The newsletter from Fort Collins user group,  "K BYTE", is always
full of great suggestions.   Once again mailing labels were discussed,
this time using MailMerge in WORDSTAR.  A data file - names.dta - must
be set up and a sepcification file created looking like this:

     .pl 6                    (page length 6 lines
     .mt 0                    (turn off tom margin)
     .mb 0                    (turn off bottom margin)
     .df names.dta            (define file to get names from)
     .rv fname,lname,address,city,state,zip
     &fname& &lname&          (read variables from data file)
     &address&
     &city &state& &zip&
     <                        (three blank lines)
     <
     <

The article on page 7 and 8 goes into greater detail if you are truely

     I  reviewed  a label maker program in Perfect Filer a  number  of
months  ago and find it to be easier and has the additional  advantage
of  printing multiple copies of the same labels---it will continue  to
spit out duplicate labels till you say stop (esc).  This is handy when
making  labels for creditors that show up each month - I use it for my
suppliers  at  my  office that must be paid each  month---print  up  a
year's worth at once.  Here it is again:

     Put Perfect Writer in drive A and Filer in B.   Create a new file
'b:label.mss'  and enter your creditors name and address in up to  six
lines  (enter returns to make a total of 6 lines)  Do Not include  the
angle brackets around each entry.   Put filer in A drive.  Call up the
"Generate Mail" option,  select 1-across labels, subset "All Members".
The input file is 'label.mss',  and your printer will take off.   Stop
everything with <esc>.
