Printing from PB

I know you've been busy lately, and I don't want to sound too needy, but was wondering if an additional feature might be incorporated in the new version of PB.

Would it be possible to print load labels straight from the program. I keep meticulous records of all my loads (good or bad) and input all data into PB before I go to the range. Then I open MS Excel and input all the data into a spreadsheet I created and print load labels from there. If PB could print them, it would be a huge timesaver, as well as eliminating the need for some to purchase stick-on labels.

Thanks for all you do for us!

This is a great idea Dallan.

I also run Basic Ballistics and this is included as a feature in that particular software.

Cheers, Vince

It's OFFICIAL

I've now used my lifetime quota of good/great ideas, (Vince said so!!) a total of 17. WTF am I gonna do with the rest of the crap floatin' around in my head?

Any particular label type? I'll dig into this.

Again,
I don't want to sound needy.

I set up the spreadsheet to print in 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" cells that I tape in to the load box. I guess you could set it up to print on certain labels (maybe an adress label would work?)

I set it up so that normal 8 1/2 x 11 paper is used to minimize the need to feed store-bought labels through the printer more than once. I do spend some time cutting away a lot of wasted paper though!
