Are you saying that when you open the Labels dialogs and click Options,
there are no labels listed for "Avery standard"? It could be that this is
the result of saving a document or template as Normal.dot. Are you also
missing standard AutoText entries?

Back to the original question. All my Avery templates have disappeared
with
their handy reference number for the proper table sizing. Is the only way
to
get templates back is to download one template at a time?

Yep, I'm with you on that--at least I like to understand what Word is
doing
when I let it do something "automatically."

Thanks Suzanne - I hadn't thought about separator rows so that does
make
the
article make more sense. As you know I'm not personally a great one
for
accepting Word's automatic offerings so I'll always prefer to wade in
and
work at the basic element level g.

Adding rows won't work properly with some label definitions because
they
include narrow separator rows, which aren't replicated when you add
rows
by
tabbing. You can, I believe, select two rows and use Insert Rows and
get
a
"label" row and a "separator" row, but in such cases mail merge may
still
be
more efficient.

Not sure what your problem is here. If you use Tools Letters and
Mailings
Envelopes and Labels you can select the label type (or create a
new
one)
from the Options button. The New Document button creates a 'sheet
of
labels'
which is actually just a Word table - you can enter what you like
on
that -
no compulsion to use Mail Merge. (Turn on table grid lines if you
can't
see
the label boundaries.)

There is a Microsoft article with the detailed steps at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/as...269731033.aspx

but note that the article incorrectly says you have to use Mail
Merge
to
get
multiple sheets - actually all you have to do is add rows to the
table
to
fill another page or pages!

news I know there are templates within even old versions of Word
which
interface
with many Avery label types (incl 8366, file folder labels) but
I
can't
locate where or how to create a sheet of these labels anywhere.
Only
"Mail
Merge" options are available and the interface for file folder
labels
limit
you to the same label throughout the entire sheet or to printing
one
single
label. Please include detailed directions -- I need all the
help I
can
get.
PS I could not find answer on knowwledgebase, forum or in the
product.
