The labels are now printed.  Thanks, Dan

I wasnt aware that they had to be printed from WP, and not QP.  I could have
saved myself a great deal of frustration this afternoon had I known it was a
simple merge feature.

And yes soonet is slow today for some reason - there was some kind of delay
receiving messages.. But soonet appears to be working now.  I am sorry that I
sent the message three times.  I did indeed check the archieves before
resending, but today's messages wont be up until the backup tonight.

Anyway, problem solved.  I had to install acrobat file, quattro pro and sidekick
to my home machine to get everything sorted out.
