[Dx4win] Print Labels

[Alan Zack]

Before I actually print my labels I select DESTINATION: PREVIEW to look 
at my labels print page and make sure all elements of an address fits 
inside the label window.  I note the calls of any whose address extends 
out of the label's space.  For those that don't fit I close the PRINT 
LABEL window and go to those QSL's that need fixing.  In the main QSO 
window I click on the QSL Mgr box and hit CTL+E.  This opens the QSL Mgr 
address window.  I then edit this window to make the persons address fit 
better.

In your example of G3TXF if you cut and paste his address from QRZ.COM 
you get:
Nigel CAWTHORNE, G3TXF
FALCONS, ST GEORGE'S AVENUE, WEYBRIDGE
SURREY KT13 0BS,
England - U.K. The word WEYBRIDGE causes the label to be printed out of 
bounds.I then edit it to read: Nigel CAWTHORNE, G3TXF
FALCONS, ST GEORGE'S AVE, WEYBRIDGE
SURREY KT13 0BS,
U.K.I shorten AVENUE to AVE and move WEYBRIDGE to a new line.  Now 
Nigel's address will fit inside the label box just fine.If you are 
dealing with a really big address and this method doesn't work then try 
going to a smaller font.GL &
