[Solved] Labels problem

[deborahjdawson]

I am having problems printing labels. I have followed the tutorial up to the point where it says 'click data to fields icon' however this icon is missing. I can see my data source and the fields correctly inserted into the labels. I have done this successfully before, I'm beginning to think I am going mad-help!

Take a look at this thread at ooforum.org. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the folder/directory structures on Windows and Linux machines to give you more specific instructions.

Have you selected aby records? As I recall, the "Data to Fields" button is grayed out until you actually select some (or all) rows.

If that's not the problem, I have also seen the button completely disappear. If that is your case also, try running OOo from a different user login--if that works, then you probably need to wipe your normal OOo settings and re-start OOo.

You can get around the missing icon* by clicking the Print icon and answering 'yes' to the 'form letter' query.

* Using this icon will result in only a single sheet of labels so the above method is also how you can do more records than will print on a single sheet.

You are probably missing the entire toolbar. See this thread for a fix.

Many thanks! I haven't managed to solve the problem, but have got around it by using the print icon
