I didn't test mailmerge using the csv options; losing the formatting would be a big issue and create even more steps.
We have used mailmerge very successfully during the project to catalog the GA governor's mansion collection. We used rare book id strips and printed shelving location, call number, author, title, pub date and the barcode number on the slips. Elaine J.

I wonder if you could skip the label interface altogether by using one of the CSV options under List Actions in Item Status. You'd miss out on the call number formatting that the label editor does, though. :-/ -- Jason Etheridge | Support Manager | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
