Avery Wizard for Microsoft Word

by By Lou Harris — http;//www.alamopc.org Alamo PC Organization - February 21, 2000 at 13:04:09:


This is a fun little program for using Avery Labels of every size and description. It comes on 3.5 diskettes and CD-ROM and is available from the Avery Web site for a free download at www.avery.com.

It automatically puts an Avery logo icon on the MS Word tool bar. Clicking on the icon brings up the Wizard that walks you through the selection of the label you want to use, inserting your text, etc. Just about any size/shape label you want is there — over 135 items are listed including address and shipping labels, diskette labels, name badges, file folder labels and many more.

The diskettes/CD-ROM come packed with some Avery samples. The Avery Wizard helps you create and save a reusable mailing list. It merges MS Access, dBase, Paradox, MS Excel and FoxPro as well as other data formats supported by MS Word. You can preview and change the look of your labels before printing. The Wizard even suggests the font and alignment for each product.

Improvement is needed in adding a graphic, which is tedious but possible. The instructions can be found in the “Help” file.

System Requirements: MS Word ’97 or MS Word ’95, v. 7.0 or v.6.0 and 2Mb hard-disk space.
