That is what i had in mind (to store them in a table). i only mentioned the registry, because ms word might store its there too and then i could get them from there and put them in my table. i havn't checked the registry yet. at this time i am hunting down the most label definitions i can ley my hands on, then store them in a table. i think we had a missunderstanding here - sorry.

i also wrote avery label an email to see if they have a database available with all their label definitions. i would think thats in their own interest. but i havn't heard back from them yet.

>>in my app one option i have is printing address labels of customers/vendors/etc.. i want to provide the same 'service' like ms word does with pre-defined labels. so the label/report is flexible in the sense that the user might use any lable they want.
