Uninstall the Avery Wizard from Microsoft Word

The Avery Wizard add-on for Microsoft Word has been retired.  If you have an old version, it can cause an error message when you open a Word document.
 
Here are a few steps to removing the Avery Wizard add-on from Microsoft Word:

1. Open a blank Word document.
2. Access the File menu (or click on the Office button in the top-left corner) and then select Options:
   
    
3. Select Add-Ins from the menu on the left. You should see the following:
   
   The file that needs to be removed should be called AVWiz12s.dotm (or something very similar).
   The location of this file on your computer will be displayed at the bottom of this menu.
    
4. Navigate to that location on your computer:
   
    
5. Close Word.
6. Delete the AVWiz12s.dotm file from that location (along with any other files with “AVWiz” in their names).
7. Open Word
8. Access the File menu (or click on the Office button in the top-left corner) and then select Options.
9. Select Add-Ins from the menu on the left and verify that AVWiz12s.dotm no longer appears in the list of add-ins.

 
 
At this point, the you should no longer be seeing the Avery Wizard in Word, but it may still appear in your list of installed programs on Windows.
 
Here’s how to remove it from that list (for WINDOWS computers):

1. Open the Windows Start Menu in the bottom-left corner of your screen:
   
    
2. Type Programs and Features in the search box at the bottom and then select it from the list near the top of the window.
3. Find the Avery Wizard in your list of programs.
   (Tip: If your list of programs isn’t sorted alphabetically, click on Name above your list of programs to do so.)
4. Right-click on the Avery Wizard and then select Uninstall.
   This should remove it from your computer entirely.
