TICKET ARCHIVE -> mac office/word os x 2001 labels problem

harlan1s - Jan 9, 2007 - 3:21 pm

I am using office os X for mac 2001 version on a mac running os 10.3

Opening the project gallery in word, I choose labels.
In the past, if I chose a specific label-say mailing address labels, I would see thirty labels appearing on the page-15 on the left and 15 on the right.

Every different label chosen would appear on the screen as the actual sheet of labels.

Now, I don't get anything on the page.
I can create on label. I hit tab and it doesn't go to the other side. It may go down and create a second label, but it doesn't go under the first label. The program puts it where it wants it.

What can I do to restore the labels function to where it was before? I have even tried removing Office and re-installing but that didn't work.

Thank you for your time.

Office 2001 is a Classic application so that you're using it in OS X is irrelevant, since it must be running in Classic. In any case, it sounds like you're not doing anything fancy; no mail merges from Excel into labels in Word. So, may I recommend a simpler alternative?: an application dedicated to letting you make these labels.

pearLabelizer will give you the same label sheet selection (Avery, e.g.) in its preferences (you can download more from the Web site)and add the ability to import directly from your Address Book. Is this a workable solution as Word's labeling system is not really top notch?
