We have been an open dental user since 2010. At present letters are printed and the envelope is hand addressed. What is the quickest way to print a label for a letter? I noticed that inexpensive small individual label printers exist that can be loaded with labels at all times.
Any advice and recommendations?
Thanks,

Re: Address Labels for Letters
option 1 Use Mail Merge
After you use any of the queries that are available on Opendental Query website , you will be able to export the list/results of that query as an Excel document
1- Export the list AS AN EXCEL DOCUMENT,
2- use Microsoft Word to create the labels
3- Create Mailing Labels in Word using Mail Merge from an Excel Data Set

Hello Gene
I have used a Dymo 220, there are newer versions available.
If you purchase a Dymo label printer and load the drivers, Open Dental can access the printer directly.
If you go to File -> Printers -> Labels -Single > default
Set you default label printer to Dymo.
You should then be able to print insurance labels etc.
Hope this helps,
