Creating labels for mailings, shipping or labeling is a common task for reporting tools. TX Text Control's MailMerge component gives you powerful features to create such labels or to print content on pre-printed *Avery* labels. Typically, a complete page of labels is designed for pre-printed labels on DIN A4 or Letter format. In version X10, it will be possible to switch to the next data record in the middle of a page - after a merged label - using the MS Word compatible *NEXT* and *NEXTIF* fields. Consider the following template setup: ![Creating Lables with NEXT Fields](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/09/17/a/assets/reporting_next.webp "Creating Lables with NEXT Fields")After each label, a *NEXT* field indicates that the current data record should be increased. On merging the template, each label receives data from a new record. The *NEXTIF* field increases the record under specific conditions. The *Template Designer* will be updated with these two new *Special Field Types* in the *Mailings* tab. ![Creating Lables with NEXT Fields](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/09/17/a/assets/next_fields.webp "Creating Lables with NEXT Fields")Stay tuned for more upcoming features of Text Control Reporting X10. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
