    mail merge/table text direction

    So I did a trial run with a mail merge for some labels to create. The labels are 3.5 x 5 so when i merged them i then had to change the text direction 90 degrees. here is where the problem is that to turn the text i have to go to each table that is created in the mail merge and turn each one individually. I've looked and searched all over and not seeing anyway but figured I am not turning enough stones or clicking enough areas to do what i am needing it to do. so is there a way to turn them all at once or do i just have to click each one and turn each one, one at a time.

    Re: mail merge/table text direction

    Did you try changing the text direction in the mailmerge main document? Having done that, you shouldn't need to do it on the output. Equally, you might get the required results if you used a label template that was itself oriented at 90 degrees (i.e. using a landscape layout instead of a portrait layout).
