In the Label Options dialogue, scroll the Product Vendor dropdown list and select 'Avery US Letter', then scroll the Product Number list till you find the desired number. In the Labels dialogue, click the 'Options' button Open Word click the 'Mailings' tab on the ribbon (you may need to open a blank document first, to get to the ribbon).Ĭlick the 'Labels' button near the left-hand end. The label formats are already built into Word, so you don't need Avery or other add-ons. I found the answer almost immediately in the Microsoft Community forum, and on the chance that others have had the same problem, I am posting it here. Is the answer simply to ditch Avery altogether? I'd hate to do that because I use it for printing business cards (customized for each of our employees) as well as for printing labels. I gather that many others have had the same problem. What do I have to do to be able to print plain-Jane business labels on Avery label sheets using an identifiable template? Get rid of Word 2013? I don't really want to do that because I want to maintain compatibility among the various computers I use, and the ones in the office use Office 365.

So what do I have to do? Uninstall the Avery add-on, and install the older version (if I can still find the disk?).

I do not want 'decorated' labels on my business correspondence, yet Avery offers me nothing else. When I type that into the selection window I get a whole slew of 'decorated' label versions but nothing like a plain 5160 which is what I want. I want to use Template 5160 (for address labels 8160, so the 8160 template would do just as well). I now have Word 2013 (as part of Office 365) and have installed an Avery add-on which instead of providing a menu allows you to search for online templates. In my previous version of Word (2007) I had an Avery add-on that appeared in the header and when selected provided a menu of templates, by number, from which one could select any template one wanted. I think we have been over this infuriating topic before.
