DID IT !! 2. Layout Mode - In the Layout mode, dray the thin line between the 'Body' and the 'Footer' button to the top, so only one label is shown. Note: make sure the thick line (like the one on the right), isn't shown anymore on the bottom of the label. This would cause an empty label to be printed after your original one. Need to make sure the BODY line is the second line and not the first cutting into the docment edges it seems a little odd when you do it but youll seee what I mean. Also ensure that ANY fields boundaries are within the printing space and if they are extended out by even a fraction with the toggle handles then the printer will think to print this as well. Very pleased with the result it has only taken 8 hours to figure out !!! Good luck JY

I cant even print a simple label from a single address field in a basic layout from my FM 8.5 to dymo 330 turbo unless I scale to fit and then it is like looking at a microdot. I have wasted about 50 labels checking settings - its VERY annoying. Did you get your settings working - can you give me some help ? Hope you are well Jonathan

That works very well indeed thankyou I also have a main contact number in the layout Companies and have the following script which will not work for some reason. I presume this is because I am calling it from the Employees layout instead set phonenumber to cell "Main Telephone" of current record of layout "Companies" tell application "Skype" set call_string to "callto:" & phonenumber get url call_string end tell Cheers Jonathan

I have some more info - I reckon now I should be using a Calculated Applescript BUT there is no where in the known universe any reference naterial on how to perform a calulated apple script so If anyone can help me understand the Quote marks syntax etc then I would be very greatful "tell application "Skype" set call_string to " & "callto:" & Employees::Telephone & " get URL call_string end tell" Cheers Jonathan

Hi there - we are a small company big into skype and we use FP7 for our contacts database. I am fairly new at all of this but have found that I can do some amazing scipting within the FP7 application. I now want to take it a step further and use the data held in the contacts database (namely the telephone number) and get it to automatically call the number using skype (www.skype.com) My issue is that I cannot define a parameter to pass to the applescript I have been using a select field and copy statement but then where do I paste it or set it as the passable parameter? This skpe code below works well but I just need the last bit to get it to work tell application "Skype" set call_string to "callto:" & PASTE get URL call_string end tell All help greatfully recieved Cheers Jonathan
