Setting Margins for Mailing Labels in Reports 6i

I would like to know how to configure the margins (vertical/horizontal properties) for different mailing label formats. I am unable to correctly set them to use for Avery labels. MS Access has a great label wizard that brings up a variety of mailing label formats and allows you to choose from the list. I have found nothing similar in Oracle Reports. Have been a DBA/developer of Oracle Applications for 20+ years. Help!

Where you set the measurement ?
Did you follow this ?
@ Report Object Navigator
1. Select Layout Model >> Main Section then properties
set Width, Height and Orientation under Section
Adjust your layout and
Try...
Hope this works..

Need to call SET ROLE for Oracle before running report

Hi all,
does anyone know how I can call SET ROLE for Oracle with Crystal Reports, before running report? I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 to design report (with Server Oracle connection) and Java Reporting Component to run report within a J2EE apllication. If anyone has any idea, I'd greatly appreciate as I'm in trouble.
Thanks a lot.

Just a thought...
If your report's datasource was an Oracle stored procedure, you could call a function to set the role from that SP
You would be in the same Oracle session from Report --> SP --> Function, so the role would be retained

Using Address Book for mailing labels

I know how to use the address book for mailing labels, but when I went to print I had children's names appear on the labels. Is there a way to request souces, but not children. In other words can you select specific information to appear on the labels. Or do you have to go into address book and delete the kids names. Any advice would be great.

There are several 3rd-party applications which will print mailing labels from your address book data and give you greater control of what is printed.
Roll Call Directory and Imprint have both been mentioned.
I don't know how they handle linked cards, so if you try either you might let us know.

Is there a Template for mailing labels from contact lists

Is t here an app to use contact list to print lmailing labels?

Hello Jb1947,
I understand that you want to print mailing labels from your Contacts. If your MacBook Pro is running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), there is a way to print mailing labels directly from the Contacts application. The information you need is located in the following article.
Contacts (Mavericks): Print contact information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15095
Print contact information
Select contacts or a group. If contacts in a group have multiple email addresses, street addresses, or phone numbers, you can choose which to print.Select addresses for group members
Choose File > Print.
Choose the print style from the Style menu, then set related options.If you don’t see the Style menu, click Show Details.
Mailing labels:
Click Layout and choose a label type from the Page menu. To set page margins, space between labels, and how many labels to print per page, choose Define Custom.Click Label and choose the address to print from the Addresses menu. Set any other Label options.
Thanks for reaching out,
-Joe

TRYING to format for mailing labels.

Hello all, I'm having a problem I'm hoping you could possibly help me figure out. I bought labels from office max today with the intent of formatting my word processor (in this case pages) so that I can just type up the names and addresses and print them out on the label sheet. well stupid, naive little me figured there'd be instructions on how to format your word processor so that the labels printed out correctly... and there wasn't. so i've been trying to figure out a way on my own to format the page correctly, but I can't seem to get anything to work right. I tried creating a table, but the actual page of labels has a space in between each column of labels, where as the table does not, which would ultimately off-set the second and third column of the labels.
I know it has been suggested numerous amount of times (believe it or not I actually tried to research this question before posting) that anyone attempting to create mailing labels just use the address book application... but the reason I CAN'T do that is because I don't actually have a printer that is compatible with my mac right now. I need to type up the mailing labels and then e-mail them to a PC in order to get them printed out, therefore rendering the address book method useless to me.
If anyone has ANY suggestions of what I can do (that doesn't involve me immediately purchasing a new printer... ), I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope this thread made SOME kind of sense... if not, i'd be more than happy to clarify anything you are confused about.
Thank you!

There are several ways you can go about this.
1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
+Inspector > Metrics > Position+

Mailing labels in report

Hi,
Is there anyway to display mailing labels on the web instead of on a paper. If its possible please let me know. I will appreciate it. Thanks

alright I created a report and saved it as RDF file, now when I do a web.show_document what excatly do I do for it to work. And how do you do you keep the service on when you install report server. I installed the report server and then when I start the service it shutdowns byitself. Any idea why.

Setting colors for item labels in JFreeChart (WaferMapRenderer)

Hi,
first of all, sorry for posting a JFreeChart related posting on this forum, but I didn't get a solution right now (I even didn't find anything useful on the JFreeChart website/forum). Here's my question...
I'm trying to set the color for item labels in the legend but with no success.
Here's a code example:
final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createWaferMapChart(
    "Wafer Map Demo",         // title
    dataset,                  // wafermapdataset
    PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, // vertical = notchdown
    true,                     // legend
    true,                    // tooltips
    false
WaferMapPlot plot = (WaferMapPlot) chart.getPlot();
WaferMapRenderer renderer = new WaferMapRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesItemLabelPaint(0, Color.red);
renderer.setSeriesItemLabelPaint(1, Color.blue);
plot.setRenderer(renderer);The default behavior of the WaferMapRenderer is also strange because the item label as well as the item marker is painted black so you cannot distinguish different fields of the wafer map. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong (or missing somehting)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
- Stephan

Your folder action script doesn't work because of one simple error:
set label index of every item of entire contents of processFolder to 7
Nowhere in your script is 'processFolder' defined, so AppleScript has no idea what you're trying to do.
Given that you (correctly) iterate through added_items, the correct format would be:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
repeat with item_ in added_items
tell application "Finder"
set label index of item_ to 7
end tell
end repeat
end adding folder items to
In other words, this changes the label index of each item just added.
That should work provided you're dropping files into this folder. If you're dropping folders then this would set the label index of the folder itself, but not necessarily the items within that folder. For that you'd need to add a check to see if item_ was a folder and add code to handle folders.
Also note that this kind of folder action will only work on the folder itself - that is, if you have folder A that contains subfolder B, then dropping a file into subfolder B won't trigger the script and won't change that item's label. To do that you'd have to attach your folder action to subfolder B.

Setting margins for "Create PDF from Clipboard"

I'm posting this because I could not find another question that dealt with my problem directly, but after A LOT of searching, and a few failed attempts, I did find the solution.
Problem: When creating a PDF from content copied to the clipboard from a webpage, everything on the page was way off-center, with almost no left margin.
Once the PDF was created, since there is no easy way to adjust page margins, the only way to center everything would have been one page at a time (for 24 pages), by dragging the page contents manually to the center of the page. I tried using the "Set Page Boxes" function, but I ended up with 24 blank pages. Yes, I could export the PDF as a Word document, and then reprint that Word document as a PDF, but I knew there had to be a simpler way.
Solution: When you create a PDF from a clipboard containing text (or in the case of the above document, text and images), Acrobat uses the settings for "Create PDF from Web Page."
Unfortunately, if you look up Convert clipboard content to PDF in Acrobat Help, it doesn't tell you that. AND the settings for "Create PDF from Web Page" are NOT included in the list of settings under Preferences > Convert to PDF. There is an HTML option in that list, but there are no editable settings for that file type (There are actually quite a few such file types listed there, and my question is, if there are no editable settings, why are they even listed under Preferences?). Batch Conversion of Text Files also uses the same settings.
So, here's how to do it:
Select File > Create > PDF from Web Page
Click on Settings
To adjust the default margins for new PDF files created from a clipboard containing text, select the Page Layout tab, and adjust the margins to your liking. Notice how small the Default right and left margins are... hence my problem.
Click on OK to save your new settings, and the simply Cancel out of the "Create PDF from Web Page" dialog box. If you read this page, it says you have to actually create at least one PDF file using the "Create PDF from Web Page" dialog in order for your settings to stick, but I never did, and my settings were saved just fine.
If you're copying basic text (or converting text files), that's all there is to it.
With web page content, there could still be a problem (as there was with this web page), if the content you've selected is not the full width of the web page. I think this has to do with the fact that web pages often use Content Style Sheets to format their page elements, and those styles are transferred when you copy that content to the clipboard. The PDF page margins are technically correct now, as you can see by the position of the image at the top of the page, but the text portion (at the bottom of the page) of the PDF only fills the same percentage of the text area (between the margins) as it did on the web page.
The only solution I have found if this happens, is to export the PDF as a Word document, and adjust the margins there. In the document I was working with in these examples, there were boatloads of different invisible subsections to the document, and each subsection had different settings for right and left indent, fonts, font sizes, etc., so there was a lot more to it than a simple 'copy & paste' type of procedure. Once I corrected all the different elements (and this one had a whole lot of weirdness going on), and then printed it as a new PDF, everything looked much better.
Hopefully this helps someone else find their answer much easier than I found mine
And of course, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for asking. Yes, with either the Crop tool or the Set Page Boxes tool, I could trim the page just fine, removing the excess from the right side, but as soon as I tried to add space to the left side, it just blanked out the whole page. It seemed like it should have worked, and maybe on a simple text file it would have. But that particular array of content proved to be most troublesome.
I also could have just cropped the page down to 6.5 x 11, and then centered it when I printed it.
My primary goal in searching for the answer, and my main reason for posting this, was for setting the margins for future documents (and to help others find those settings,too). Since I still had the web address, I could easily recreate the PDF once I figured out how to set the margins. Of course I didn't realize that there would still be problems once I got the settings right. Like I said, that particular web page seemed to have several unique difficulties.

Change field used for Mailing Labels

Hi. I am a new Mac user and I need help with mailing labels. When I print my labels, I want to use a custom field - Label Name - as the first line on the label, rather than the name of the contact. Is there a way to do this? For example, I might have a contact name of Joe Johnson, but I will have The Johnsons as his Label Name for sending holiday cards, etc. I don't want to change all my contact names to these appropriate label names. Is there a way to configure the mailing label to print the custom field rather than the first and last name? Thanks for your help.

I have this same complaint. Prior to Snow Leopard, there was a feature in Address Book that automatically combined the name on an address book entry with a related name (spouse). I used that feature and adjusted my Address Book so that it worked for me. Unfortunately Apple deleted the feature in Snow Leopard without giving a reason or a tenable workaround. See kb article #HT3952 for details.
I imagine the feature was deleted because it was somewhat surprising and confusing. Still it WAS a feature and there IS NO WORKAROUND. I investigated writing an AppleScript, but decided it probably couldn't be done. I ended up printed labels this year using a kludgey mail merge with Microsoft Word. A lot of work and still not fully satisfactory.
Apple, please add a feature to replace the old method!

How to set proxy for mail with Gmail account

Hi, I'm using mail and set up a Gmail pop account. My mac is behind a proxy, say 192.168.0.1:808. I set the system http and https with the above address and can browse the internet with safari. But the mail app cannot receive or send any mails from the google pop/smtp server. Do you know how I can set the proxy for mail so that it can send and receive mail? Thank you very much!

I solved this problem myself by using an app called proxifier. It's a tunneling tool I guess.

Problems with initial set up for mail and other things

I am having issues with mail set up and getting printers and other things work with Mac Pro Book, since i am new convert i am feeling really frustrated with these things, anyone out there has experince in mac mail set ups and other instatlations like msn messanger etc.

Sorry you are having problems but you need to provide more detailed information about the problems such as what type of email account are you trying to set up in Mail - .Mac, IMAP or POP and is this account provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet or by an email account provider?
What happens including error messages provided when trying to create the email account in Mail?
Regarding a printer problem, this is the Mail & Address Book forum. You should post a question about printer issues with detailed information such as the make and model of your printer and what you have tried to this point at the Printer & Faxing forum here.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=756
Installing MSN Messenger should be easy. I believe Messenger does not include an installer and is provided as package via a disk image that only requires dragging the application from the mounted disk image to your Applications folder which copies the application package from the mounted disk image to your hard drive.
What problems are you having with installing Messenger?

How do I find the setup for mailing labels on Pages

I cannot find the place on Pages to set up labels. I use Avery labels and there is no icon once I go to Pages for setting up labels. Thanks

Use Contacts or Address Book. The Avery labels are part of the Print dialogue.
If you want to use Pages, it depends on the version. Pages 5 has merging removed, recently patched with an AppleScript which is a bit fiddly.
Pages '09 merges from Numbers Tables or Address Book data.
In either case you will need to open an Avery label Word template from their website and fill in the Labels which are individual Textboxes.

Transferring set-up for Mail from iMac to iBook

I just switched from AOL to Mail on my iMac and would like to have the same setup on my iBook. How can I do this without building everything from scratch a second time? I'm not sure where to look for the preferences or whatever that is saved for my Mail configuration. Any help?
Thanks,
Joanne

Joanne,
One easy way to make the transfer, unless the Mail folder is of extreme size, is to Network the iBook with the iMac. More on this in a moment.
What you want to do, by network, target disk, or burned media, is REPLACE the com.apple.mail.plist file (Home/Library/Preferences), and the Mail folder (Home/Library/Mail ) on the iBook with a copy of the same files from the iMac. Once you have done this, launch Mail on the iBook, and you will be set. The same can be done with the Address Book (Home/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
To do this while in direct network link do the following:
On the iMac, click on System Preference icon in the Dock, and choose Sharing. Next place a check mark in box beside Personal File Sharing.
Now, on the iBook, open a Finder window, and click on the Network globe in the Sidebar, and you will see your iMac listed. Double click on the iMac icon, and when prompted enter the administrator password for the iMac. At that point choose to connect to your Home folder on the iMac, and then an Icon for that home folder will mount on the iBook. Open it the same as you would open the HD, and then open the HD on the iBook, and locate the files you wish to replace with copies of those on the iMac.
Hope this helps.
