[Consim-l] DTP: How to make counters?

[Mike NotSpecified]

Thanks Alain.  I have a stack of those blank counter sheets left over from ~ 
1975 and yes they are in those light pastel shades so favored back then. 
 Avery makes a big, single page label.  My fear with this solution is that 
unless I get the label perfectly aligned I'll leave an edge exposed and the 
whole thing will peel back apart.

But it's worth a try and I have gotten pretty good at putting labels on wooden 
blocks :)  Hey, maybe I'll just convert all my games to blocks!
