Ah, but I don't own Illustrator or Corel Draw - nor do I desire to have yet
another piece of software.  As far as a db merge into raw postscript - I
could, but that complicates things when I can simply open OpenOffice select
the appropriate Avery form and fill in the labels.  It really is very nice,
I was incredibly impressed the first time I used it.
