Re: Printing Labels

If you're OK going online, I used the online app at avery.com when I printed out the name badges for TPRC 2023 in Toronto. It generates a PDF from a CSV file. it works beautifully -- all you do is enter the stock number of the Avery product you're using, and It Just Works.

If the online app could also create a `.docx` file, the really horrible approach ™ would be to take this `.docx`, and gut the XML in it into a template that is then filled by the templating system of your choice. Alternatively, maybe it is possible to open the generated PDF in OpenOffice without disturbing the margins and spacing too much and then edit that XML there into a template.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is a wonderfully evil idea. I heartily concur, and await further news about this despicable act. :D Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.	[reply]
