How can I add another Avery Template to use in mail merge?
I'm wanting to use Avery 5567 labels (Hanging File Tabs), but that template
does not seem to be pre-installed in Word 2002. I tried to download it off of Avery's site, but then I am not able to use it in mail merge. (I have over a hundred different labels I need to make.) When I called Avery for help, they told me that I have to use the DesignPro software. I really don't like DesignPro as it is not nearly as easy to edit which records I want to use as mailmerge is. Does anyone know how to get a new Avery label template into Word in such a way that it can be used with mailmerge? Thank you. |

I don't know of a way to transfer Avery's template into Word but as long as
you have the dimensions of the labels you can create a "custom layout" in Word - in the Label Options dialog box click "New Label", give the layout a name and fill in all the other details. It then appears in the "Other/Custom" section of the "Label Products" list. Optionally, once you have tested the layout, I suggest that you create a mail merge main document or template based on it and save that just in case you ever lose the settings in Word.
