Creating mailing lables
Do the fields have to be a fixed length? Looks awkward
Hi David,
There are a couple of ways you can deal with variable width values for mailing labels.
One option is to add a single static text object to your custom layout for your label and put the field names into it surrounded by square brackets.
For example:
[First Name] [Last Name]
[Street Address]
[City], [Province] [Postal Code]
[Country]
When setting up your label this way, the width of each value doesn’t matter as it will accommodate the space required for the variable width values.
You do have to make the box wide enough to accommodate the largest width label though.
The other way to do it is to create a Calculation or Script field which concatenates the field values and then just place that one field on your label.
See the Text Concatenation sub-topic in the Calculations topic in the online user manual:
