Avery 74549 Labels

[topcat]

I have created a table in Word 2007 for name badges. I can not get them to
print correctly positioned on Avery Labels #74549. What can I do to correct
this problem?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Do they print correctly on plain paper? Sometimes the problem is with the
printer's ability to handle label stock.

 

[topcat]

Yes. My problem is alignment for Avery 74549 labels

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You used the label definition for Avery 74549?

Your problem is with your printer which does not have the ability to
accurately feed label stock. It is a common fault with many ink jet
printers.

No. How do I find and use it? I did not see it.

I am using a Photosmart D7300 and label stock prints quite well. The problem
seems to be with Word 2007.

The Labels dialog in Word 2007 doesn't have a definition for Avery 74549. You
have two alternatives:

- You can download a "template" (actually just a document) from Avery's site at
http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Te...nnel=c042fd03ab30a110VgnVCM1000002118140aRCRD
and type your information into it.

- That same page says that "compatible products" (labels that have the same
dimensions) include 5383, 5390, 74461, and 74556. All of those are listed in
Word's Labels dialog, and you can use any of them.

The Avery you sent me to is pre-designed. I want a blanl label withouf their
"fluff".

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Did you read the rest of his post?

 

[Jay Freedman]

Obviously not, nor did 'topcat' show any initiative in using the Avery site's
search box, which would turn up a blank version at
http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Te...nnel=c042fd03ab30a110VgnVCM1000002118140aRCRD

 

[topcat]

Sorry but you are wrong. Topcat DID show initiative, downloaded it and could
mot delete the graphics. Check before you fault me, please.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I don't see any graphics on the blank template Jay referenced. But, as Jay
pointed out, you could equally use the built-in definition for 5383, 5390,
74461, or 74556.

Jay's second reply had a good one in it. I did not realize the two respones
were different. Problem solved. For future reference how do I use built in
definitions in Word 2007? Many thanks.

Mailings | Create | Labels | Options: Select the appropriate label from the
list and click OK.

If all the labels are to be the same, you can stick with "Full page of the
same label" and try to create it in the window. For more flexibility, click
New Document to get a sheet of labels you can fill in as desired. They're
set up as a table, so be sure you have the table gridlines displayed so you
can see the label boundaries.

 

[topcat]

Mant thanks. I will retain this for all later needs. Bob

 

[topcat]

I just did as you suggested and found it worked but the two JPG files in the
label were lost. Any way around this?
