Instructions: Click on the Avery icon button on your toolbar to start the Avery Wizard software while still working within your Microsoft® Office program. Click Next to start a new project.
Instructions: Enter the Avery product number or description, then click on the Search button. Choose the product from the list, then click Next.
Instructions: You'll find a variety of options to choose from, from blank templates to predesigned templates. Click on the template you want to use, then click Next.
Instructions: Delete the placeholder text. Select the field names on the right and click Add Field to Layout.
Instructions: Choose whether you want your addresses to fill the label sheet down the column or to fill across the row. You can click on Print Preview to see how your project will print.
