OCLC Book Label Production Using WordPerfect 5.0

Producing spine and book labels on the OCLC system for sets of books with many volumes, replacement or supplemental volumes, or annual editions can be very tedious and costly as one moves the cursor line‐by‐line to insert the volume or edition numbers. With WordPerfect 50, it's possible to produce these labels efficiently by using keyboard merges and looping macros. Once the master file for each label is produced, you can invoke the merge and have the cursor moved to the exact place on the label where the volume or edition number is to be inserted. Also, if the library has more than one copy of the set, the replace command (<Alt><F2>) may be used to change the copy number on the labels in a few seconds.
