The dynaMACS Mailing List Export is a simple feature that allows you to print your mailing labels directly to Microsoft Word. This feature lets you target specific customers by filtering on data fields from the customer records in dynaMACS. You can also include or exclude customers that purchase from certain manufacturers.
The label option that will be used in the dynaMACS List Export feature must be set up first in your Microsoft Word program in order to use the dynaMACS Print Labels option. The following example explains how to set up the label options Microsoft Word.

Setting up Labels in Microsoft Word

In the following example we will set up the 5160DM in Microsoft Word. The 5160DM is equivalent in dimensions to the Avery 5160 label.

Note: There are 3 other custom labels available in dynaMACS:

• • • • • CustomDM1
        • CustomDM2

These labels can be created using the same procedures and applying the appropriate dimensions for the desired label.
