Using the Office Manager Letters feature, you can create custom labels and merge them with your Dentrix data into Microsoft Word from which you can print them to use with mailings.
To set up and merge custom labels
1. In the Office Manager, click Letters & Custom Lists.
The Letters & Lists dialog box appears.
2. Click Misc.
The Miscellaneous Letters & Custom Lists dialog box appears.
3. Click New.
The Letter or Custom List Setup dialog box appears.
4. Do the following:
· Name - Type a new letter option called "Custom Label."
· Letter Template - Click Browse, and then select dtxlabl.doc or dtxlbl2.doc. This is the same name you will give to the labels template you are about to create in Microsoft Word.
· List File Name - Type "custlbl.out" or another seven-character name that you will recognize. Make sure you use a filename with the extension ".out." This is the file name you will use later when you go to Microsoft Word.
5. Select the parameters that you want to use to create your list. For example, to create labels for all of the guarantors in your database, select Guarantors Only; under Status, clear Inactive; and then clear the options under Gender and Position.
6. In the Data Fields group box, select the items that you want to have appear on your labels (Last Name, First Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Title), and then click OK.
The Letter or Custom List Setup dialog box closes.
7. Click Create Letters.
Dentrix compiles the list.
8. Close the Letters & Lists dialog box.
