All I want to do is take an A4 sheet of Avery labels and print addresses
on them, but I have just spent a fruitless half hour trying to find the
software that shows the different label formats along with the ability
to print individual, or all the same addresses on a single sheet.

Can anyone point me in the right direction through the maze of software
please?

nightmare really.

open office will do it.

Both are a bitch to set up.

I have been known to resort to Corel Draw and set up text boxes for all
the labels...

I use X2net LabelMaker. http://www.x2net.com/labelmaker/

I like it because it is so easy to use. It has a large list of Avery labels
and you can define your own labels. It can import from a database. You can
choose to miss 'x' number of labels on a sheet if you've already used some.
Well worth the $25 although they do have an irritating registration process
which means you have to wait a day before you can use the software (or set
your clock on a day).

That is what I remember. I'll have to look at my collection of almost

Until recently Avery had some downloadable software that made label
printing very easy.

No problem. It seems to do everything I want very simply. I don't think the
trial is limited in any way apart from the watermark. I have to run it in a
virtual XP machine as it doesn't like my x64 Windows 7.

Yes. Open a new document, go to Tools, then Envelopes and Labels. Most
of the Avery products are listed there. If not, it's not hard to set up
a new template.

There is also an option to describe the dimensions of whatever labels
that you have and give that a name.

Complete nightmare. I have a draft which I have been using for at least
ten years, and probably longer. I'll shoot myself, if I ever delete it
in error. It prints perfectly - 14 labels per sheet. Works in Word and
Open Office. I'll happily send you a copy, if that is the format you
require.

Agreed - for as long as I remember, both for individual labels and
bulk mailing.

Tip: For individual labels start from the last label and work
backwards otherwise the paper loses its stiffness and might have
problems feeding.

I used to use wordperfect. The word does more things though. Pretty

Just found out I haven't got word back on my computer yet, as I did a

WordPerfect, every time I have the choice. And labels are very much

Cheers. I didn't look at it much as I have little call for labels these days
and those that I need are in Word. There is an Avery A4 option and that
seems OK.
