Any Way to Determine Which Avery Label Template Was Used?
Ya. Got a secretary, quite a few actually, who love creating labels and then
can't recal which Avery one they used for which document. I've suggested they put the information in the footer but you know how some folks are... Anyone have any way to quickly determine which one? ~Lori |

Any Way to Determine Which Avery Label Template Was Used?
You don't ever want to have a footer on a labels document, as this will
throw the formatting off. I recommend putting it in the Comments file property instead. -- Suzanne S.

Any Way to Determine Which Avery Label Template Was Used?
I'll echo Suzanne's caution about footers. Use any of the document
properties in the File Properties dialog instead. To answer the question about identifying the label stock used for an existing label document, no, there isn't any quick or foolproof method. If the document was the last one made in that copy of Word, the Avery stock number will still be visible when you open the Labels dialog. If that doesn't help, the best you can do is to note the dimensions of the table cells in the document, and the margins and the spaces between labels (if any); then try to match those measurements to the definitions of the labels in the Options dialog or in the lists of labels on Avery's site. These are the most commonly used ones, although the site has several other types: Inkjet labels http://www.avery.com/us/Main?action=...alogcode=WEB01 Laser labels http://www.avery.com/us/Main?action=...alogcode=WEB01 -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Compare size of labels to the label stock you have? (I know, it's not real
scientific but it works.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Lori" wrote in message ... Ya.

If you don't know which label format was used (and this is not contained in
the document) then use the method at http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm to converte the labels into a data file then re-merge to whatever label format you like http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lori wrote: Ya.

I was afraid of that, but thanks for all the input.
