Label printing / microsoft works type program
« on: 10 April 2014, 10:40:35 »

Okay, I want to make some sticky labels to distribute amongst some of my old customers.

I have bought some self adhesive labels from Wilko's.
These have 21 labels per sheet with the labels measuring 63mm x 38 mm.

Now I know Microsoft Works will do this perfectly but my disc has gone walk about  :(

Is they any freebie programs out there that will allow me to import a logo, add text and print onto these labels ?

TIA

Not used it for a while, but you can download a Label Printer Software for just about any label from the Avery Web Site.  :y

Avery, as said, do all sorts of (rather crap, but may work for your needs) programs and templates.

Most productivity software can do it as well, such as Microsoft Word. Not tried, but would have though OpenOffice could as well?

Downloaded a piece of software from the Avery site to work in conjunction with word 2007 which I use.

Basically, it adds another tab to the top of the word document.
Click on it.
Type in the Avery product number and it sorts everything out for you.
All you have to do is fill in the script / logo  :y

Thanks for the heads up  :)

I think Word 2007 can do it directly anyway?

MS Word will do it - but is not cheap/free.
OpenOffice will also do it no probs and is foc :y

I know how to design the label and insert the clipart using Ms Word but I couldn't find a way to print it off onto the pre formed sticky labels  :-\

I used to use Ms Works in the past which had more template / printing options and was a piece of pish to use.

Now sorted
Thanks

Not used 2007 in ages, but its in Labels and Envelopes. Basically, under Labels, create a blank one for your label size, it gives a page with a fixed table on it, which you insert what you like. Create one of the labels, and cut and paste it to the others. (Using the option to prefill all labels can get fiddling with non text).
