Message-ID: <1782@arctic.nprdc.arpa> Date: 18 Apr 89 20:56:08 GMT References: Sender: news@nprdc.arpa Reply-To: serafine@nprdc.arpa (Ron Serafine) Distribution: comp Organization: Navy Personnel R&D Center, San Diego Lines: 18 As corresponding secretary of the San Pasqual (high school) Music Boosters, I've been very pleased with the 116+ mailing labels/month I've gotten out of FileMaker II, on 11 X 3 - wide seamless labels. I am using an old IW-I to print the originals on blank stock perf-feed paper, then I (pardon the name-drop) Xerox ea. page to as many copies of labels as I need. There's a little time spent in setting up the first layout, but from then-on, it's easy. I just space out the output from the IW to match up with a blank page of labels, and there-I-go. The neat thing about using this data- base is, you can keep it current with your membership, customize the output in different layouts, and run lists in any format. Of course, it's easy for me to say: I've been using FileMaker since it first came out years ago. I think I'm using the Helevetica - 10 font, but I'm not sure & I don't have the data- base here. Regards, Ron.
