To clarify what I am planning. Another person will be using the macro to do the necessary steps. It will be used only every month or so. So the user has time to forget some of the steps required. The first thing I would expect the maco to do is open the data file , whatever it might be, for editing. Then would like to pause it so editing an be done manually, the macro would then continue. It would open the master document, the merge fields would be placed within a label form and then a basic Autoshape with rounded corners would surround the merge fields along the label borders and the transparency of the Autoshape would be setr to 100%.The macro would then propagate the label definition and make a final document that can be printed. It would save the master document and close the data file.Then the macro would close, leaving behind a final document that can be printed if the user desires.
As I was typing the above text I thought that the master document AND the data file could be pre-created ,then the macro would only have to open them. The data file should still have a pause to allow the user to edit it.
