Instructions from Joe
I use Avery label 8163, which has ten 2"
x 4" labels per page. Most teams
use one that is a little shorter than what I use -- maybe
2" x 3". I like
the longer one because it allows room for coaches' CEP
numbers, manager's
phone, etc.....all the things that are supposed to be
added below the
roster.
1. Select everything in the first label
(everything within a single label can be selected by tabbing
(or back-tabbing) to that label....or you can select text
by the standard method).
2. Under Format, you should have "Text
Direction"...select it and select the standard orientation
that allows you to read and edit it most easily. When
you do this, some of the text will be below the label
edge, and you won't be able to see it. Change the font
size to 4, then zoom in to 200% so you can actually see
it again!
3. Edit as necessary.
4. Select the whole group again, zoom back
to 75/100%, change the font back
to 8, and reformat the text direction.
5. With the whole group hopefully still
selected, copy, then tab to the
other labels and paste over your new info.
Option 2
( My copy of Windows did not have a font which
dropped down to 4pt, so I came up with another option
which worked for me. -- Rob.)
1. Select everything in the first label
and copy it.
2. Open a new document in Word and paste
the label in. The text will flow horizontally instead
of vertically.
3. Edit the label.
4. Copy the label, return to the label template,
and paste it so that it replaces the template text. Do
that for each label.
