Easy way to generate circular labels?

The 5294 labels are described as round, but of course the table cells
generated are square (or so they seem). I would guess that by adjusting the
cell margins, the text could be kept inside the diameter--I picture the
typing area as a square circumscribed by a circle. But that's just a guess,
because I don't have the labels--which is why I asked what the problems
might were if the OP had already tried it.

That would give you a page of rectangular labels?
Have you tried generating a page of Avery 5294 labels? Mailings
ribbon create group labels options; select the 5294 product
[quoted text clipped - 15 lines]
enter text inside each circle and have it break so that the text
prints only on the labels.
I tried to download that template. It caused IE, and then Word, to
hang. I had to force them. Happened twice. I've had lots of problems
with Avery templates in the past, so I usually roll my own.
My guess is that you are correct that they simply fit a square inside
the circle.
It looks like Word really can't do this task very well. I'll use a
graphics or DTP program until I get my label printer. ;-)
