I've created, in Publisher, and using my company's name and logo and my
address, a return address "graphic" that I want to use on my Avery 5264
shipping lables.  The company logo and name are one JPG graphic.  The address
to my office I did in  a text box.  Then I grouped these two things to create
my "graphic".

I want this return to come up at the default return in my Avery 5264 mailing
labels.

Thanks for your help.

If you have created the graphic in Publisher you should do the whole job in
Publisher which is infinitely better than Word for combining graphics and
labels. However if you have managed to export the graphic in a Word
compatible format - see http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm

I still have the original in Publisher.  If it is "infinately" better to use
Publisher I will.  Please...do tell.  One note; I did see in Word that I
could direct Word to print just one label.  So, if I wanted just one label,
could I do that in Publisher as well?  Meaning, could I say print the label
in column 2 row 2?

It is difficult to combine graphics and labels in Word - even more difficult
if you want to use the label wizard. The link I posted explains what should
be possible. For mail merging labels with graphics, Publisher handles the
composition better, but it suffers a similar limitation to Word in that if
you want to start from a position other than the first label, you must
include an appropriate number of blank records at the start of the data
file. If you can get your Publisher graphic to translate to Word then try
the method I posted. Otherwise stick to Publisher.

Grham's pages may already cover this ground, but...

Considering there are only 6 labels on 5264 sheets, if you are going to be
doing a lot of this and you don't want to change your label layouts too
frequently, you could consider doing the layout for a single label (in
either Word or Publisher) then producing 6 versions of the document with the
fields and graphics positioned to output a single label. However, in
Publisher you would probably need to avoid the Label wizard because it only
really deals with the normal situation where you have multiple labels per
page, and in Word you would also need to avoid the approach Word uses (i.e.
using a table to do multiple labels per page) .

All you would need to do then is notice which label you need to print next,
open the appropriate Publisher (or Word) document, select the record you
wanted from your data source, then merge/print..
