Thanks for the reply.  I don't think the page layout will work, the last time
I remember trying, you couldn't mail merge to the PL module, only the WP one.

I thought about the second idea but I think that would be more trouble than
it's worth.  Besides, our labels and bills need to be printed in the same 
order and that would really confuse my dad if I did it that way.  

Are there any one across, non continuous labels available?  Also, are there
mac drivers available for the DJ 500 for when I switch to a Mac?

Thanks,
