Creating stickers using Avery labels

I recently switched from a PC to a fabulous G5 iMac. I used to create cute stickers for my students' papers with my PC using Print Artist and Avery address labels (#8160), but cannot figure out a way to do this with my Mac. I am looking for a way to insert graphics and text into the label and then print a sheet of all the same design. I hope someone can help me. My students will be disappointed if they don't get custom-made Romeo & Juliet stickers!

Hi Jen,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
What you're looking for is very similar to a page of return address labels—a sheet of labels whose content is the same for each label. You'll find an excellent set of instructions in Sharon Joiner's User Tip here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=607494
Your graphics can be simply pasted into the layout for the labels. Remember to set AppleWorks Preferences > General > Text to use Fractional character widths to improve the resolution of your graphics.
Regards,
Barry

Help...trying to print address labels from an excel document. I only need info from some of the columns. Using Avery labels.

Help...I'm trying to print address labels from an existing Excel document that opens fine in Numbers. I don't want to print everything from the spreadsheet. The Avery template and site were no help. Any suggestions?

If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

Using avery label templates

I would like to print Avery name badges, but can't find a template for this in Pages. Would love advice on how to get started. This is something I'm very accustomed to doing in MSWord.

You chose a group of addresses you want to print and then use command-P. You will get a drop down menu where you have to select the Avery number or size of labels. It's pretty rigid.
I can't stand the limitations of the Contacts method of printing address labels. I don't want to waste a partial sheet if my selection doesn't come out even with the number of labels. I'd like to duplicate addresses which I use often to fill up the partial sheet. I like being creative with fonts, colors and even borders or images. Your ability to be creative with Contacts printing is severely limited.
I've used Pay&Play's Label Printer Pro software for years. I originally paid MUCH more for this program. It's extremely versitle. Design one label and you can copy it to the rest of the labels in the drop down menu with one click. Chose how many of whichever lablel you want to duplicate with a simple cut and paste to fill up the page.
I can vouch that it works perfectly with Mountain Lion, v 10.8.2.
Here's the link to their direct download from their website for $6.95:
http://www.payplaysoftware.com/download.html
Or you can look up Label Printer Pro 7 on the app store and pay $9.99.
No, I don't work for or have any ties to the company other than being a satisfied customer of a product which suits my needs perfectly.

How can I create a new label using Pages and Avery Labels products?

How can I create a new label using Avery LAbels and PAges on an imac?

Contacts prints to Avery labels.
Otherwise just open the appropriate Word template from Avery's website, in Pages.

Creating Avery Labels

I want to create mailing labels for my Christmas cards (as well as any other future correspondances) using Avery labels 5160. According to Appleworks Help Index this is possible, but I'm having problems finding a template to get started. AW Help mentions I need to go to LAYOUT first but I can't find it. It's obvious I'm doing something wrong. Can someone take me through a step-by-step instruction on how to do this? I appreciate any/all suggestions. Thank you!

Mailing labels are created using a Database document, which is where you'll find the Layout menu.
The first part of this reply will quickly get you a basic label. The full post will let you produce a better label, but it's a bit more complicated.
If you're starting from scratch, the quickest way to go is via Starting Points.
Launch AppleWorks, then go to the File Menu and choose Show Starting Points.
Click on the Assistants tab.
Click Address List, the first Assistant in the panel. Click through the assistant, accepting the default choices. This will produce a 'Personal Address List', which contains a layout for 5160 label stock.
That's the basic label. Here's the better one:
If you already have the names and addresses in a database document (or if you've created the Personal Address List DB, and aren't happy with the labels it produces), here's how to make your own.
The instructions assume you have the following fields in your DB:
First name
Last name
Address (contains the street address)
City
Province (or State) (contains the two letter symbol for the Province (or State).
Code (or ZIP) (contains the postal code (or ZIP code))
Open the database, show your standard data entry layout, and press shift-command-L to enter Layout mode.
Press shift-command-D to define new fields.
Define two new Calculation type fields, 'Full name' and 'City PR Code' (or 'City ST ZIP')
The formula for 'Full name' is:
'First Name'&" "&'Last Name'
For 'City ST ZIP':
UPPER('City'&" "&'State'&" "&'Zip')
AppleWorks automatically inserts new fields into the visible layout if there is room for them. You don't need them in your data entry layout, as they are calculated, rather than entered fields. After you click Done, you should, if you wish, delete the two new fields and their labels from the current layout before creating your Labels layout.
Now create the mailing label layout.
Go to the Layout menu and choose New Layout (Note: NOT "New Label Layout)
Choose Label, then use the pulldown menu to choose 5160 from th list of Avery numbers. Click OK.
In the dialogue, double click each of these three field names in the following order. (You'll find the first and last at the bottom of the list, the second near the top.)
Full name
Address
City ST ZIP
When the three fields names are listed in the Field order window, click OK.
Press shift-command-B to return to Browse mode. Go to the Window menu and check Page View to see the labels as they'll appear on the page.
Print a test sheet before running the actual label stock through the printer. If all of the data is being printed too high or too low on the labels, either move the fields in Layout mode, or (better) change the top and or left margin to relocate the data in relation to the top of the page.

Barry

How can I get templates for Avery Labels to use with Pages.

Prior to getting Pages I always used Word. Word seems to bomb out on my new imac. I need to be able to use Avery Labels, but I can't find a template for labels in Pages. Suggestions?

Pages doesn't have label templates built in. You can use Word templates in Pages, but I do believe that Avery now has Pages templates although I only see "holiday" ones.

Avery Labels and HP 45000.

Cannot get printer to match the labels in Word. Using Avery Labels and their software with Word 2010. Anyone else having a problem?

James,
You don't say what type of labels you want to print. It's pretty easy to set up a table in Pages to align text fields with labels, if you're just looking to type miscellaneous data, stuff that might not work well in AddressBook. There are no built-in templates for Pages to align with specific Avery products. Once you create one, save it as a template for the next use.

You can try this:

It's possible to install another language on top of the language you already use. You need to switch your system's language to be able to use the other one.

How do I create avery labels 5160 on mac

How do I create avery labels 5160 on mac

I assume you mean to ask how to print in a format that will match Avery 5160 lables. You can do it with Tables or Text boxes. That's all there is to say without knowing what your content is and how it might change from label to label.
Size: 2.625" x 1"
Labels per sheet: 30 (3 Across by 10 Down)
Margins: Top 0.5" Bottom 0.5" Left 0.1875" Right 0.1875"

How can I can I change an Appleworks business card to match an Avery Label?

I used the earliest Apple II's, and I loved Appleworks, being a member of the Appleworks Users Club through the days of Appleworks 6, which I still use on my Macbook with OS 10.6.8. I enjoy the ease of creating business cards that it allows. I have forgotten how to change the format to different Avery labels.
Help

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

Printing avery labels

I recently purchased avery labels 05160 (laser), when I print(on xerox, phaser 6120). they are out of alignment. Am using apple Works 6.2.9. and setting is on avery 5160. Can someone give advise please.

you might have inadvertently shifted the table for the labels off center. First test that the default label is fine bu creating a blank new 5160 and then putting some junk text in the labels and printing on normal paper.
Now line a label sheet and the test sheet up you should be able to tell if its aligned.

Avery Label template ?

I'm looking to create a blank sheet of Avery labels(Let's say Avery 8160 for now). I would like the user to use a PDF form instead of Microsoft Word. Is there any option available for this? Has a template already been created?
Thanks...

It sounds like you haven't installed Pages '09 you have installed Pages 5 for Mavericks.
Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed and does a terrible job of opening older files:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=b14426a2c5af2 65f2213d98ee45f08d7&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

How do I convert my Avery labels to print in pages?

I had Avery labels saved in Word that I know want to use in Pages.
I can't get them to print correctly.
Any suggestions?

Any details?

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. Please recommend an address/shipping label program that works with Avery labels. Thanks.

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. I press print, and the program closes. I press save, and the program closes. I press print and the program closes. I have had an email exchange with Pabel Printer Pro 7, but the best they could offer was to go to Utilities and click on fixed permssions. I have done that several times, and the program still doesn't work.
Can you please recommend an address.shipping label program that works with Avery labels that I can purchase, and that is also simple to use?
Thanks,
Paula

Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels?

Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels? I've tried to adjust the margins and the cells to sizes listed on the package, but I can't get them to fit properly. Also, when I try to copy information (return address with three lines of data) from one cell to another to fill in the page, the information ends up with one line each in three different cells. How do I keep it all together?

I'm sure it can be done in Pages but I find it easier to use the Mac version of Avery Design & Print software which can be downloaded free from http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m
It will import information saved in Excel or csv formats which you can do from Numbers or other spreadsheet software.
