How to create a simple mailmerge database to print videotape lables for the spines? I've seen the Avery 5199-S results and want to create my own. The ideal result would be vertical text on the spines. How would I mailmerge a simple list of videotape info to print spines for the tape boxes with (for instance) the titles in big vertical text and other info in a little box below?
I can do the little boxes, just the rest is daunting for now...
cheers!

If what you mean is to have the title displayed as

T
I
T
L
E

You could have each letter in a separate field in the datasource and then
have each mergefield on a separate line.
