I'm trying to use the Avery Label Pro program to print labels which will contain a bitmap graphic as well as text. I didn't realize that the program had a very limited set of forms until after purchase. I played telephone tag with Avery tech support and some of the software developers and learned that the "form" can only be created with a special proprietary form editor and that a custom form costs hundreds of dollars. (In my mind it doesn't make sense for a program that only cost $60) I wonder if anyone out there has figured out how to generate these forms - "cracked the code" or alternatively can suggest a better program for creating labels with mixed text and graphics. Please respond directly as I do not regularly read this newsgroup. Thanks in advance. Mark Gryska gryska@cs.umass.edu

They allow a PCX graphic to be include in the label. It's much better than Avery's Label Pro.

Go to the utilities section of the LabelPro program and you get the chance to add your PCX images to LabelPro. (They create a screen image version and they provide the utility for this). I have added quite a few of our scanned images and it works NICELY. There is quite a bit of flexability in this program considering it is such an inexpensive program. -- >.. CCS Enterprises, Inc. ..
