Tips & Warnings
For newer versions of Microsoft Word, the template may already be built in to Word. Select "Tools," "Letters and Mailings," "Envelopes & Labels" and "Options." There will be a list of loaded Avery templates to choose from. The Avery Wizard program is a free, downloadable program that will help you with all Avery label projects in Word (see Resources below). If you have difficulties in getting the labels to fit and print as you need them, Avery offers support by phone, if you cannot find the answers to your questions through their website. Call (888) 835-8379, and have your product number, software information and questions ready.
