Sticky Address Return Labels

[tamaris]

I used to buy these at Vista print , they are now about £3.95 plus VAT plus postage taking them to about £10 for 140.
Anyone know if there is a better deal out there ?

I always use able label. Have a look - think they will be cheaper

Ablelabels are very good - I've used them for years.

Here are the instructions for Word 2003. (Other versions of Word are basically similar). They might look a little daunting but they're actually quite easy to follow (I hope!) and you only need to go through the procedure once because you can save the resulting document for future use:

Go to Tools > Letters and Mailings > Envelopes and Labels
Select the Labels tab and ensure that 'Full page of the same label' is selected.
Type your name and address into the blank field.
Drag your cursor across all of the text, to highlight it.
Right click and select 'Paragraph'.
Change the left indentation to 1cm. (That's to prevent the text being printed right to the very edge of the label. Alternatively change 'Alignment' to 'Centred' and/or make any other changes that you require). Click 'OK'
If you want to change the font, again select all of the text by dragging your cursor over it and then select 'Font' to make the required changes.
Click 'Options'.
Change 'Label products' to 'Avery A4 and A5 sizes'
Select 'L7160 - Address' as the Product Number.
Check that the correct tray (where you've put your sheets of labels into) is shown in the 'Tray' field. Click 'OK'
Click 'New Document'.
Then print and (importantly!) save your document, just as you would with anything else created in Word.

Thank you Buenchico.
I don't have Word on my computer as I could not find a number on the box as you suggested to install it, I posted earlier about this. I was told it would cost about £100 to install.

All full-featured word processors (such as OpenOffice) have similar facilities. However you can also use a dedicated label-printing program, such as this one:

Simply remember that the Tesco labels (and all others that put 21 63.5mmx38mm labels on an an A4 page) are equivalent to Avery's L7160 product [because it's that product number that label-printing software needs to know].
