Avery Labels

[Margaret N]

I have found this programme very good and have just done a batch of some 150 labels.

While I edited the data base list first I still missed a few amendments and have cleared unwanted addresses I may even have more to add before I print them off. This now leaves me with blanks and I wonder if there is a way of shuffling the addres labels in the layout to fill up the pages.

Any help please and thank you.

Will your programme do a sort?

[Margaret N]

James,

Not that I know of, if only it did.

The only way I have ever found of doing this is to cut and paste - very boring if you want to keep them in the same order. I now try to remember to make all of the alterations before finalising the labels - from the selection of which ones through to any errors - it takes a bit of time but is much quicker in the long run if you are doing lists of labels that you want kept in the same order.
Sorry - I know you didn't want to hear that but unless anyone else has found another way - I would be very grateful to hear about it too!!

Marion,

On my smaller lists I do just that 'Cut and Paste'. I am just trying to get my labels all set up and ready for the off but as I say my lists often change each day.

Keep Watching this thread we may all learn something.

I use Avery Design Pro and that has a sort function. You sort the database in the order you want it to print.

Thank you Wendy,
I hadn't come across the Pro before (it's been so long since I had the old Avery label system) - am downloading it now - hope it's the answer to Margaret's prayers!

Wendy,

I downloaded Avery 3.1 was that the correct version?

Will be back on site later.

I typed in Avery Design Pro and it came up with Avery DesignPro for PC | Avery

Marion,
Have you used Avery Design Pro with Vista? They do not mention it on the free version only the one you buy.

Wendy, mentioned it and I wondered if I had the programme that she meant.

[MarionH]

Hi Margaret,
No - I have kept well away from Vista and sit on XP. I did try the Pro quickly but it seemed a little more complex than the "old" programme - and the labels turned out the wrong size as well - I didn't have time to fiddle but will have another go soon for my Christmas ones.
