Delphi 7 - Word 2003 Labels

[a3dvm]

I want to create and print mailing address labels from a project using ADO connection and an Access db.
Couldn't find how to make repeating labels with the bundled D7 Rave Reports - but stumbled over an MS topic (

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229310)

on the web showing how to perform a mailmerge with Word directly from Delphi. Looked impressive and would be ideal if it could be adapted to produce Avery J8160 labels! Any one know the code format required for repeating labels please?
Or anyone know how to produce mailing labels with Rave Reports Designer (5.0) ?
Thanks

Do you *have* Access? If so, you could save yourself a lot of trouble by looking at the ADDRBOOK sample application.

Thanks HareBrain
ADDRBOOK doesn't seem to be in my Templates area, but I'll take a wider look for it.
Though this label output is just a part of my "trying hard to learn Delphi" project, so developing it in Access would kind of defeat the original purpose. It may well give me some pointers though, so many thanks for responding.

If you like the MS code, Google for "Avery J8160 template" so you can pull that up in page layout for MS Word.

Hi

Word has a copy of Avery j8160 already loaded as std.
Guess I could go the old fashioned route of creating a text file from Delphi and running a macro in Word to load it.....
