Title: Defining Labels with the Labels Macro
Product: WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS
Number: 1222-11/93
Problem
You want to automate the process of defining and selecting label
definitions.
Concept
WordPerfect has created a macro that sets up predefined labels.
This macro is called LABELS.WPM, and it is installed with the
WordPerfect 5.1 macro and keyboard files.
The labels macro will give you predefined label sizes, but you
can edit them if they are close to but not exactly what you need.
For example, you can choose the Avery 3x10 label and alter it
slightly to fit your needs.
Solution
Use the labels macro to automate your label selection process.
Laser Printer
You will need to check the release date of your version of
WordPerfect before you start the macro.
1 Press Help (F3). The release date appears in the upper
right corner. Make a note of this date.
2 Press Macro (Alt+F10), then type labels and press Enter to
start the labels macro.
If the labels macro is not found, see Labels in your WordPerfect
5.1 reference manual. You may need to install the file from your
WordPerfect disks.
If the macro is found, a screen called "Page (laser) Label
Definitions" appears.
3 Use your cursor to scroll down through the list of labels.
When the label you want to use is highlighted, press Enter.
The Location prompt appears. You need to determine how your
labels will be fed into the printer.
4 Choose Continuous (1), Bin Number (2), or Manual (3),
depending on how your labels will be fed.
If you choose Bin Number, you will be prompted for the bin
number. If you choose Manual, you will be asked if you want
WordPerfect to prompt you to load the labels at the beginning of
the print job.
If your release of WordPerfect 5.1 is dated before 5/31/93, the
macro will end here.
If your release is dated after 5/31/93, continue on to step 5.
5 You will be prompted to insert the label definition into the
Document Initial codes. Choose Yes if you are planning to
merge your labels, or if you are ready to begin typing your
labels. Choose No if you are not ready to print your
labels, but you want the labels to be set up in your Paper
Size/Type selections in the Format, Page menu.
Dot Matrix Labels
Any release of WordPerfect dated before 5/31/93 does not have the
dot matrix options for labels. To check your release date, press
Help (F3). The date appears in the upper right corner. If you
want to print labels on a dot matrix printer, we suggest that you
upgrade to a more recent version of WordPerfect.
1 Press Macro (Alt+F10), then type labels and press Enter to
start the labels macro.
If the macro is not found, see Labels in your WordPerfect 5.1
reference manual. You may need to install the file from your
WordPerfect disks.
2 Press Switch (Alt+F3) to see the dot matrix definitions.
A screen called "Page (dot matrix) Label Definitions" appears.
3 Use your cursor to scroll down through the list of labels.
When the label you want to use is highlighted, press Enter.
The Location prompt appears. You need to determine how your
labels will be fed into the printer.
4 Choose Continuous (1), Bin Number (2), or Manual (3),
depending on how your labels will be fed.
If you choose Bin Number, you will be prompted for the bin
number. If you choose Manual, you will be asked if you want
WordPerfect to prompt you to load the labels at the
beginning of the print job.
5 You will be prompted to insert the label definition into the
Document Initial codes. Choose Yes if you are planning to
merge your labels or if you are ready to begin typing your
labels. Choose No if you are not ready to print your
labels, but you want the labels to be set up in your Paper
Size/Type selections in the Format, Page menu.
