to Make Labels with different photo and name

I probably will want the size of an 8 label page but they will have a
different photo and name on each.

Is this possible in Publisher 2002 SP3?

Word 2002?

Works 2000?

I've been all over the net looking for some info to no avail.
aaarrrrgh.

I did make one label in Publisher and I like the looks of it but for the
life of me I cannot find out how to get different ones on one sheet to
print. Why can't it be as easy as dragging them? I'll make them
individually instead of a mail merge. lol

Thanks for any input.

For this you have to use Mail Merge and you can't use pictures.

Later versions allow you to use pictures.

In Publisher 2002 you'll have to set up an A4/Letter (or whatever size
your sheet of labels is) and manually lay out the different labels
(using Arrange > Layout Guides).

All later versions (2003 and 2007) will merge images. 2007 is the
current version.

I've been online for about a decade now, in various guises. I've only
used my real name for the last 5 years. Whereabouts do you remember me
(or another Ed Bennett) from?

So? If I were going to upgrade, I probably should go to 2007?

Nah, I think this Ed Bennett was from the IBM club on Prodigy. But
don't hold me to that as that was way back in about 1991/92. <g>

Thanks for your help. AnnE
