Good Label Printing Software?

[Ice Rich]

Hi all,

I want to buy some label sheets to print addresses etc.

What is a good piece of software to use to make this job easier?

Thanks

XL to be honest, word can be useful too. If you have either of those I wouldnt waste money on more software.

What is XL malfunkshun. Goolge never helped - at least not with information about printers.

If they are Avery labels then Microsoft Word can print them. From File->New there is a letter label template which prompts you for the label size. If they aren't Avery labels then chances are there is one which matches your size anyway.

I use MS Word for printing labels, it has a lot of the Avery style layout/templates built in (remember a lot of sheets now are based on the avery layout).

If the template isnt built in, you can make your own or (if available) download it from the MS/Avery website)

Yeah, Excel. How you set it up depends on what you want to include on the label, and its size. Just take a cell, or group of cells, adjust to the size of your labels and insert the necessary info, (most labels have the individual label dimensions on the packaging).

But what I dont get is how to set the printer up to print on the unused labels?
i.e what if I print the first 10 labels, how does the printer know that next time it needs to start printing at the 11th position?

turn the paper round so the last one on the page is the 1st one?

turn the paper round so the last one on the page is the 1st one?

Then I would be left with all the middle ones

Anyone know?
