Mailing Labels - can I change the way the mailing labels generate?
May 25, 2012, 08:08:04 am
Hi guys,

I have a quick question:

Is there any way to change the format of the download from mailing labels?  Right now, the mailing labels download into a pdf file but I would like to download into a Word document if at all possible.

I am using Civi version 3.4.5 and Joomla version 1.5.26

TIA for any help or insight you can give! :)

Currently no. But if you are interested and willing to do some development, we could make this happen via a hook, similar in concept to the export hook.

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmexport

Ping us on IRC if u'd like to add a hook to the label process. If so, we can potentially get the code into 4.2 or 4.3 (and u can backport it to 3.4.x). I dont think it will be more than 3-5 hours of work
