Using avery templates/products

new to mac in general
trying to do the simplest of things . . . which is print a business card
Have the paper (avery - clean edge yada yada)
Have been here HOURS
I am sure I can do some sort of custon layout etc to match the format of the paper i am using
but there must be a simpler way???
Have apple works and I works . . . . am I going to have to get Word for Mac?
OH and the Mac templates for Biz cards s--- Used the assistant to do a biz card template - awful and totally inflexible
why is everything seemingly so difficult???????????
ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iworks appleworks

What makes the Appleworks business card assistant interesting is that you are really creating a database. Once you select the correct Avery template you can vary the layout to the nth degree, add graphics, change information on the card, etc.
You only have to change the info and layout on one record and it changes on all the business cards on the page. Pages has nothing like this.
appleworks:
To create a new document using an Assistant:
1 If Starting Points isn't open, choose Show Starting Points from the File menu.
2 Click the Assistants tab.
3 Click an Assistant. (Click on the business card assistant)
4 Follow the instructions provided by the Assistant.
After creating your business card "database" click on the layout menu (top of the screen) and then select 'layout' in the top options. This will take you to the layout screen where you can add graphics, adjust the fonts you are using, etc. Follow the instructions that are in the layout window.
Business cards can be customized easily from the layout view and best of all, any change you make here applies to all cards on the page.

  • Using Avery Templates with Pages

    I am new to Pages. I want to format Avery 8387 Card in Pages instead of Microsoft Word. Are there Avery templates in Pages like there are in Word. Can I use Pages to make Avery labels? Please help!

    Cards are rectangles.
    Rectangles can be drawn and arranged in position on a page with minor use of maths.
    As fruhulda has said Pages will open the Word documents supplied by Avery.
    …and guess what's on those Word documents?

  • 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.

  • Use of vendor product number in shopping cart from personal template

    Hi all,
    I have the following scenario:
    We use ECC 6.0, SRM 5.0 MDM 5.5 sp6 catalog 2.0.
    In the inforecord master data in ECC we use the vendor product number (vpn). When a inforecord is created or changed, the inforecords (or changed data in the inforecord) get's replicated to SRM-MDM, just like all of the other masterdata (product, vendor and conditions).
    The vpn is included in the details of a catalog product.
    When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
    When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
    So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
    This leads to wrong delivery's.
    I've logged an oss call for this, because in my opinion this is a product default. But SAP points me on "standard design". This seems always to be the case when something difficult is asked.
    They said it can be solved with a BADI implementation. To be more specific a validation in SRM-MDM with the doc-change Badi.
    Is there some one who has experience with this kind of development and knows if this is the whight Badi of has an alternative?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    JvE

    Hi,
    When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
    When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
    So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when *you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
    *Solution:
    you have told that in MDM -VPN is updated from ECC
    Say for Eg : VPN  is 12345  in MDM
    you have created a shopping cart template with thie VPN : 12345 .
    you have ordered the shopping cart the VPN number will be 12345.
    After a week this VPN is updated from ECC by 12345ABC
    now you have to Delete the old shopping cart template what you have created 12345.
    You have to create a new template with VPN :12345ABC and create a  shopping cart
    How will the VPN change in the Old Template? It  is not possbile.
    It is not A product bug.
    Please try this method what I  have suggested

  • How do I customize my html page in Dreamweaver CS5 to an Avery template that I wish to print out?

    How do I customize my html page in Dreamweaver CS5 to an Avery template that I wish to print out?

    Dreamweaver and websites do not easily match up to Avery templates.  If you are trying to develop a program for customers/etc to print labels, you should look for a script to generate a PDF file to ensure the accuracy of the printing.
    If you are trying to use Dreamweaver as a substitute to print your own labels, I would highly recommend using Microsoft Word, or Adobe InDesign for a better solution.

  • Trouble using Custom Template and Saving Resulting Document. Help!

    I created a Custom Template in Numbers '09. When I go hit "New from Template Chooser", there it is. I've tried entering info directly into the template, as well as duplicating it and entering info in the duplicated document. I can enter the info just fine, but.... Either way, when I'm done I do not have an option to Save, Save As or anything like that. I only see "Save As Template".....but it's already a perfectly good template. I don't want to Save As Template and create another template!!!. I want a named document saved, using the great template I already put together. Is this a problem? What's up? Why can't I do this???? Please help!

    I'm on an iMac running 10.7.5. (Afraid to go further  because I have FInal Cut Pro 7 and I'm very attached to it....I'm afraid to upgrade my OS and have FCP not work! I'm a pro and not so willing to go to FCP 10).  Anyway, I'm on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core  4 GB, 1333 MHz RAM.
    I'm running Numbers ''09 and don't have 13, so it's an 09 template entering 09 info. It's perfect. I run webinars and it contains all of the status for media and every detail of any upcoming webinar production. My goal is to open the template, enter the info, and save it with the name of the webinar client. Then open again, enter for another client, save, etc.
    It's just 09 all the way through. It says I can Save a Version or Save as Template.
    Should I open a template and then Duplicate so it's a fresh document? I do that sometimes in hopes of seeing an option to SAVE AS. Sometimes I open and Don't Duplicate, but just use the template. Either way I see no way of saving the document with the specific information for the client. I don't want to Save As Template! Who wants hundreds of templates running around that are all virtually the same except for the info entered within it.
    Am I missing the boat here?

  • 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.

  • Avery templates & scanning

    I would like to see Avery templates added to Numbers.
    I love the program but I am finding a few reasons why I wish I still had Word. This and a way to scan into a document.

    No need to use Word, just open the Avery Word templates in Pages.
    Of course, Pages won't merge from anything other than Address Book & will only use one contact per page.

  • Use web template to open a report from a menu

    Hi all,
    I have created one web template where I have a role menu that shows all reports that are available to the user. When the user clicks on one of these reports, the report displays in a new window. So far everything is working fine.
    But, I have also created another web template and I want the report that is displayed in a new window to use this template. How do I do this? I have been looking at the settings for the Role menu, but can't find anywhere to put the template name...
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks and regards,
    Tove-Mette

    Hello,
    yes you can use the publish function, but only to add new entries.
    In Transaction pfcg (not in WAD or BEx) in SAP GUI and then select your role at the tab "Menu" you can add/remove/maintain/organize your menu.
    just click on a menu entry and take sth.like edit.
    Then you will see a link if you didn#t find the string &template_id= the system will take the standard template (Tranaction spro), and you can easily add or change this parameter.
    Hope that helps, please ask if you need further explanation.
    Regards

  • Link to PL/SQL procedure using a Template Manager template.

    Hi,
    I need to link a portal application report (report from SQL query) to a SQL procedure that uses a template manager template. The PL/SQL procedure requires parameters. I'm not be able to create a link based on a PL/SQL procedure. The only solution I found is to setup a link to a Form based on that procedure. But the form is only used to call the PL/SQL procedure by clicking the submit button and redirect to the template.
    Another question:
    Is it planed to support dynamic links based on column conditions?
    I'm using Portal release 3.0.7.6.2.
    thanks in advance
    Jens

    Jens,
    You may want to search the Oracle9iAS Portal Applications forum. It may have the answer you are looking for. This forum is for questions related to the Portal Development Kit.
