Hi,
I am relatively new to hypercard, and have written
a reservation system in it.  Now that I have fields
with last name, first name, address, etc. I want to
print mailing labels using specific fields from each 
card.  In looking at the "Print Report" feature of
hypercard, I can select specific background field names
for printing on labels - however they always are
printed vertically down the label - instead of 
printing some of them across the label like below:
	<first name field> <last name field>
	<address field>
	<city field>, <state field>
			<zip field>

So I need to be able for better format my output like
the above example.

One suggestion a friend gave me was to preformat all
these fields to another hidden field on each card
- then print the whole field on each label.

This will work - but is there another easier way
to do this?

	thanks in advance
