I am having problems with an industrial tag order.

I am using X3.

About 600 machine tags that are labeled with different codes. No matter how I save the Excel spread sheet I cannot get print merge to properly center all of the codes? Some are centered, but many are not?

I have googled, you tubed, and searched but cannot figure out a fix?

Examples of the various data is:

13-4-RV-2
FG-304-CV
846.1-12-1
12-0-2LE3

Any and all advice to fix this is greatly appreciated!

Roy Brewer at Engraving Concepts has a couple of tutorials on his site that may help. http://www.engravingconcepts.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20&Itemid=67

Mike, thanks for the reply.

Problem is solved. I was adding an envelope (per an old tutorial) that was not needed. After removing it, all is well.

If you do a lot of print merging go ahead and get the name it software from laser jumps start. It's easier to use and it removes extra steps. You can also merge over multiple sheets. I use it to fill in data for thousands of stamp designs in seconds.
