851.0. "Printing address labels" by NWGEDU::DINGEMANS (Hans Dingemans, E.S. Holland) Wed Aug 26 1987 07:11

    DESIGN expert wanted!
    
    Has somebody a design file available to print the standard
    address label forms? It contains 8*2 labels on A4 paper.

    Total height of 8 labels: 271 mm
    Total width  of 2 labels: 211 mm (whole A4)    
    
    I was thinking of a design file using the TO_ADDRESS tag of the
    letter document reserving a vertical box of precisely the label
    size and combine it with some data of the 2 column report and
    disabling the footer information.
    
    Sounds like I already tried some ...  True, but I got stuck at the
    point where TEX gives messages like PAGETOOSHORT etc.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Hans.

	Please find below a design file to accomplish 8*2 address label printing. It expects the data to be present in the TO_ADDRESS tag of the letter document. Therefor process your SDML file with TAG$LETTER. E.g. <TO_ADDRESS>(My_name\My_address\My_ZIP_code\<UNDERLINE>(My_city)) <TO_ADDRESS>(His_name\His_address\\<UNDERLINE>(His_city)) The Zip code (if present) will be placed on the same line in front of the city. This is the preferred Dutch way to do it.
