Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 1:34:58 PM    dolldreser   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/14/2019 Status: offline I am using Print Master V8. I have designed using Avery Tent Cards #5302 with mail merge. When I try to print the program prints the same name on all 4 tent cards on each sheet. I need to print 4 different name on each tent card. Four different name on each sheet. How do I do this??? I have tried everything I can think of.

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 9:01:26 PM    dolldreser   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/14/2019 Status: offline I have 3 names in the address book and they are all selected. I don't know how to take a screen shot and I don't know what you want me to take one of? _____________________________ Vivianne Sloane (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 6

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 9:31:36 PM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline It would be helpful to see exactly what's on your screen when your project is opened in The Print Shop. If I could see it, I can point out the problem. You can google "how to make a screen capture". Or describe what you see. It *should* be one label with one text box. If you see the whole sheet of labels, that is your problem. (in reply to dolldreser) Post #: 7

You need this same custom template: 3.5" wide, 4.0" tall, and 0.5" veritical and horizontal gaps. Attachment (1) (in reply to dolldreser) Post #: 8

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 10:18:36 PM    dolldreser   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/14/2019 Status: offline The tent card doesn't come up like that in the program. The whole page comes up. Not just one card. If you only fill out one card that is all that will print on each page. _____________________________ Vivianne Sloane (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 10

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 10:42:21 PM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline I have seen that Avery template. It's fine for non-mail merge projects and especially for designing four completely different labels i.e. different backgrounds, clipart, etc. You have to know when to use "full sheet" templates and when to use "auto-replicate" templates. Mail merging requires "auto-replicate". Are you familiar with doing mail merging onto address labels? If yes, then you know you would never use a full sheet template. You design ONE label. The program prints up to 30 labels per sheet. (in reply to dolldreser) Post #: 15

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/14/2019 10:50:06 PM    dolldreser   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/14/2019 Status: offline I have no idea how to do a label to use with the tent cards. I have another Print Master program 8.1. and couldn't do it in that and that is why I bought this program. I don't know what to do now. _____________________________ Vivianne Sloane (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 16

RE: Printing Avery Tent Cards 5302 - 3/15/2019 3:47:46 AM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline You are welcome. Here is my example of when you would want to put two mail merge boxes on the project. This tent card would have the person's name on both sides so that everyone sitting at the table can read the name whether they are sitting beside or across from that person.
