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.
