Avery Wizard

Avery Wizard makes it easy to print on Avery laser or ink jet printer products from within Microsoft Word.



Overview

It prints text in the right place on Avery products and keeps text from printing off the top, bottom and side of labels. It offers an easy way to create reusable lists within Word. The program suggests the correct font and alignment for each product. You can make each label on a sheet different or create a sheet of identical labels. It makes mail merge easy by merging Access, dBASE, comma-delimited, Paradox, Excel, FoxPro and all other data formats supported by Microsoft Word. It supports most commonly used Avery laser and ink jet products; mailing and shipping labels; diskette labels; name badges and name tags; Index Maker (tm); file folder labels; and Ready Index (tm).
The Avery Wizard had a long and glorious career, but it is now retired.
If you use Office 365 or 2016, you can use the 'Avery Easy Merge Excel add-on'. You can still design and print Avery products using Microsoft Word.
If you’re ready to try a new solution, you can find templates and easy formatting in 'Avery Design & Print Online'.

Under the Paper Tab click Print Options
Select ADVANCED.
Scroll down to the PRINT section
Remove the tick from “Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 sizes” and click Ok
- Test Print on Plain Paper
Before printing on your Avery product, we always recommend you perform a test print on a plain sheet of paper. Hold the printed sheet behind the Avery product to check the alignment of your layout. This is easier to see when held up against a window or a light. When satisfied with the layout, print on to the Avery product.
- How to Adjust your Margins Manually
Tip for users of Design & Print only. If your design does not print correctly on the plain paper then click on the Make a Printer Adjustment button (Step 4 Preview & Print menu) on the right hand side of the page. Review your test print to determine which direction you need to move your project. Now use the controls to shift your project’s alignment left, right, up or down. Test again on plain paper and return to this step if it’s still not quite right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a template in Avery Design & Print Online?
The fastest way to find a template is to go to avery.com/templates and type your Avery product number or template number into the white Search Bar at the top center of the page. (Your product and template number can be found on the bottom right of your Avery packaging.) You can also search by product category if you don't have your product number handy. Many Avery products have similar layouts but are different sizes, so it's important to use the correct template for your product. It's also important to be sure you're using the correct product type for your printer. (Inkjet-only products should only be used in inkjet printers, and laser-only products in laser printers).

How do I find an Avery template built in to Microsoft Word?
If you have Word 2007 or a newer version, follow the instructions below to find Avery templates built in to Microsoft® Word. Older versions of Word are slightly different. With your Word document open, go to the top of screen and click Mailings > Labels > Options. (In older versions of Word, the Options setting is located in Tools at the top of the page.) Select Avery US Letter from the drop-down menu next to Label Vendors. Then scroll to find your Avery product number and click OK. If you want all your labels to have the same information, type it into the address box and click New Document. If you want different information on each label, click New Document and then proceed to fill in your labels. If your template looks like a blank page, select Layout > View Gridlines to see the template layout. If your product number isn't built in to your software, you can download the template instead.

How do I type a different address on each label using Avery Design & Print?
Once you've opened your template and are on the Customize screen, find the Navigator located in the upper right corner. Click on the Edit All tab and make all your formatting, font style and size changes. Then switch to the Edit One tab and click on the individual item you want to edit. That item will appear on your screen for editing. Once you've made changes to that item, click on the next item you want to edit and repeat. After you've made changes to individual items, if you switch back to the Edit All tab, any changes you make won't apply to those individual items.

How do I import data from a spreadsheet (mail merge) into Avery Design & Print?
You can easily import data from a spreadsheet to create address labels, name badges, inventory labels and more. First, make sure your data is arranged in columns on your spreadsheet (one column for names, one for addresses, etc.). Be sure this information is on Sheet 1 of your spreadsheet. Make sure your data is arranged in columns on your spreadsheet Second, open your project in Avery Design & Print Online. Click Import Data on the left of the Customize screen.

Can I print an Avery laser product with an inkjet printer or an inkjet product with a laser printer?
Most Avery products are optimized for printing on either laser or inkjet printers. We always recommend you use the Avery product designed for your printer type as shown on the product packaging. If you switch printers frequently, some of our products, including our EcoFriendly line, support printing on both inkjet and laser printers.

How do I get the printing to align properly on the page?
Be sure you are using a genuine Avery product – non-Avery products are not optimized for our templates, and are not manufactured to our specifications.
Test print. Print first on a sheet of plain paper to determine which direction to feed in your printer and to check your design and alignment.
Print actual size (100%) – Never “Fit to Page.” If you’re printing a PDF, make sure the “Fit to Page” box is not checked. Otherwise, your printing will not be printed at the actual size and won’t align properly to the product.
Printer settings. After you click Print, click on Properties or Preferences, or look for the “Print using system dialog” option where you’ll find Paper options.
For laser printer labels - change the Paper Type to "Labels"
For cards - choose "Heavyweight" or "Cardstock."
If your printer doesn't have a Labels setting under Paper Type, choose "Heavyweight" or "Cardstock" instead.
Print adjustment. If your printer is shifting your design by a consistent amount of space, click the Make a Print Adjustment button in Step 4 (Preview & Print) in Avery Design & Print. This tool will allow you to nudge your entire design up, down, left or right by increments you determine. In Microsoft® Word, you can use the Ruler feature to adjust the placement of the rows and columns.
