Using the mailing label generator in V2.0.5 if you construct a label such as: Title FirstName LastName Address1 Address2 City State Zip If the title contains the null string "" then when the label is printed the first line of the label is shifted slightly to the right as though a space is being inserted even if the field is "". I was using FASTER mode when I printed. If I use DRAFT mode parts of the address seem to run together. Another problem I've run into is when trying to generate 11 one inch mailing labels per page using a layout it prints 10 of them then form feeds (even though I set print across page) then starts printing using a LARGER FONT size. I called Acius Tech support on this one but did not really get anywhere with them other then for them to tell me they thought it was my problem and not theirs. I've looked my stuff over but I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm certainly not doing anything to change the font size. Guess I'll have to ship 'em a disk so they can try it out there. I'm getting SICK of fighting the mailing label generation problem in 4D. Is it me, the Mac, or 4D? Anyone else experiencing these problems? Is mailing label generation "easy" in FoxBase/Mac?
