Okay, this is getting even stranger...
put button "File":
(&Print/P
Print &Labels
516&0
516&1
516&2
516&3
516&4
526&7
-
Quick &Reference
(Print &Name Tags
-
&Quit/Q
New File Menu:
Print
Print Labels
5160
5161
5162
5163
5164
5267 ->
Print Name Tags
The "5267" menu is as before (the separator line and Quick Reference)
and yes, it's still on 5267 (not Print Name Tags as I would have
expected).
Enabling the "Print Name Tags" option makes no difference.
