In a word, no. But if you fiddle around with the multi-record mode of
GeoFile (set it to User Level 4) you should be able to come up with a
solution.
Suggested starting point: Take your GeoDraw example and copy and paste
it into a single record while in Design mode. Then switch to
multi-record and it will appear on each label. Adjust page sizes,
margins and individual record sizes to produce the number of labels you
want.
Works for me, but I don't have the same printer and part of the problem
lies in the printer drivers.
Printing on labels is such a vexed question that I hope to have a
detailed article on it shortly in the 'new' GeigaCounteR Magazine.
Subscription details on request.
