What program should I make address labels on?
I have Microsoft Word, Works, Excel, etc., all the typical things, and I don’t want to have to buy any software for this. Even though I’ve never had any reason to put an address database into a computer and print out lables, I presume there’s already something in there that’s good (and easy) to do this on. Advice, please? Thanks!
best bet is to build your database in excell and then when you get ready to do the labels you use mail merge in word. Also if you buy Avery labels – they often will have a cd in the package that can also assist you in creating the labels.
Good luck!

Go to http://www.pcworld.com send me an e-mail thursday on a free label program, sounded good, but am not into printing labels.
Go to downloads, and search for it, can’t remember the name, like I said was not interested.

Use word..simply go to "tools" then "letters and mailings" then "envelopes & labels" and choose the approprite one. If you buy Avery lables that makes it really easy..Word has like "Avery 3160" the form for the labels are all set up for you…couldn’t be easier.

found a fairly easy way to print address labels using a macro from Avery (the label company.)
Download the Avery Wizard (free) from: http://www.avery.com/software/produ…oft_cat_code=15
Install it – It will imbed itself into MS Word.
Export the addresses you want to print from Palm Desktop using Edit_Send To_MS Word.
In Word, delete all Columns except the name and address columns you want to print. Save the file as a .DOC.
Click on the Avery Wizard, (red triangle on the toolbar) and walk through the steps to format labels, using the above .doc when it asks "which file contains your information?
This was a much smother operation than when I tried using the Palm.com instructions for printing labels posted above.

I use word and do tha mail merge. Just make sure you are using the matching template to the size lables that you have. And if the template is not in your system then you can download it at microsofttemplates.com or avery.com

MS Word is ideal. Use mail merge and the label wizard. You need to create a data file or you can even use your existing contact data from excel / word / access / outlook. You open a new document and start the wizard, use the new document to set up the layout of the labels. YOu will have lots of default settings to choose from. and even the option to customize the label to your specs.
