- PC-LABEL
-
-
- PC-LABEL is a separate program on your PROGRAM diskette. It will
- accept 4 different types of source files:
-
- (1) PC-TYPE+ Mail Merge output files (if you use the .LABEL .ELABEL
- options
- (2) PC-FILE database files
- (3) Comma delimitted files
- (4) Pure ASCII address files.
-
- Note: The ASCII address files cannot have multiple addresses across
- the sheet.
-
- When you run PC-LABEL, Esc will normally return you to the main menu
- and F10 will normally accept your input and move on.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Running PC-LABEL
-
- To run PC-LABEL, just type PC-LABEL after the DOS prompt. F1 will
- provide you with a few help screens to get you acquainted with the
- options.
-
- If you have a graphics card without a color monitor, add the parameter
-
- /GREEN
- when you start PC-LABEL.
-

-
- /BIOS or /ANSI
- when you start the program.

- PC-LABEL Examples
-
- Four examples have been provided for you on the HELP diskette - one
- for each type of file PC-LABEL will support. Each example has a
- default file prepared for your convenience. To try each example,
- start PC-LABEL with the following command:
-
- (1) PCLABEL a:\pct_help\pct.lbl (for Mail Merge label output file)
- (2) PCLABEL a:\pct_help\pcf.lbl (for PC-FILE file)
- (3) PCLABEL a:\pct_help\ws.lbl (for comma delimited file)
- (4) PCLABEL a:\pct_help\ascii.lbl (for pure ASCII address file)
-
- Note:
- Of course if you have moved your help diskette files to another
- location, you should replace the "a:\pct_help" with the new path
- location.

- Press the PgDn Key
-
- PC-LABEL and MAIL MERGE
-
- When you run Mail Merge, if you define .LABEL C:\SAVE1\LABEL.DAT
- the address portion of the letter as .group
- shown to the right, then the address .<name>
- information will be saved to the file .<address1>
- you designate - in the example, LABEL.DAT .<address2>
- on drive C, subdirectory SAVE1. This file .<city>, .<state> .<zip>
- will be created for all three Mail Merge .egroup
- modes - gathering data from PC-FILE, from .ELABEL
- a comma delimited file, or from user input.
-
- When you later want to create your labels, run PC-LABEL and select the
- "PC-TYPE" labels file option on the PC-LABEL SOURCE DEFINITION screen.
- You will then be prompted for the path, (C:\SAVE1 in the example), and
- the filename (LABEL.DAT in the example.) In this way you will never
- have to redefine your addresses.
