Hi Mandy<br>

> I have version to 3.02.06. I would like to use the label creator to create batches of spine labels. It works fine but pulls call number from the itemcallnumber field and doesn't format it. The text sits on the label in one line - eg. BUL FUL 2011 - too wide for book spines and too small and difficult to read if I reduce the font size and stick it on the book spine sideways. I would like to break the call number up into three lines so the three elements of the call number can be read from top to bottom.<br>

</div>There is no way to do that in Koha 3.2.6 without editing some code I<br>
am afraid. One option is to look into using KBarcode<br>
<a href="http://www.kbarcode.net/" target="_blank">http://www.kbarcode.net/</a> and using the reports tool to export the data<br>
to load into it.<br>
<br>
Or maybe someone smarter than me can think of a way to do it within Koha<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Actually, there is no good reason that number should not split correctly as there is a splitting algorithm to handle splitting non-standard call numbers based on spaces [1]. Alternately, you can add a comment to bug 2500[2] including an example of the desired call number both unsplit and split with the hopes that someone will add an algorithm for it.<br>
