What software do you use with Avery labels?

Avery also say that exisiting projects can be used. This is a a blatant mis representation. CNDX files cannot be opened and all my previous labels are now useless. I am appalled at the high handed and dismissive manner in which Avery reply.

Will Maestro open Avery cndx labels?

Most good word processors have label templates that are compatible with Avery labels.

Cafox13,

There is a limited number of label software options that work with Mac. It is true that you can use the built-in templates with Microsoft Word, but that is pretty limiting. If you are looking for a viable alternative to the office supply store label brands, I recommend that you check out OnlineLabels.com (the company I work for). The label sheets are much less expensive than the office supply store and there are hundreds of size options (way more than office supply store). In addition, all orders come with activation for Maestro Label Designer software which is a web-based labeling software that works on Mac - http://www.onlinelabels.com/maestro. Just click on the link and launch the software. It is web-based so there is nothing to download. It is a lot easier than working with the Open Office label templates.

I use Avery Design Pro - free from Avery. The alignment is much better than with any templates I've found. Although it's only supposed to be compatible with OS X versions up to 10.6.x, it works just fine under Mountain Lion.

I used it to create my Christmas card mailing labels last month. I also use it for business cards, postcards, etc. Will import data, etc. Free isn't a bad price to pay.

Cafox513 -

That's great. I am happy to send you some samples for testing if you would like to fill out our sample request form at http://www.onlinelabels.com/General/SamplesSelectItems.aspx.

I can also get you a free Maestro Label Designer activation if you want to use the software. Just let me know.

Hello, Dcarmany -

Is it possible to design just one (or two or more) labels at a time in Maestro rather than a whole page?

That was one advantage of the now-defunct DesignPro for Mac that I liked.

Didn't like the clumsiness of the system, however.

Thanks - KF

KF1 - Yes, it is possibly to do ths. At the time that you start a new design, you will need to select the mode that says Multiple Label Designs on One Sheet. See Step 2 below.

We have a new version of Maestro Label Designer that we will be releasing in about 3 weeks that will make your requested functionality even easier to do. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

Dave

Dear Dave -

Thanks so much for your very prompt and helpful reply!

I will keep an eye out for the Maestro update in 3 weeks.

Wishing you well - Kathy

Bizarre. I needed software too. I went to avery, searched, found the mac software, downloaded, installed, ran and printed. Didn't have any problems whatsoever. (On 10.9.4).

Yes it's the UK site but even a simple google search found it as well.

Apparently there is a free iPad & iPhone (and Android) app too, have installed it but not tried it yet. My printer is wired but I use the excellent Printopia software from Ecamm which lets my iOS devices print to it.

I still use DesignPro - Avery have a new product - "Design&Print," a Java app, that I cannot get to do anything, however. I'm just glad that DesignPro is still a functional product.

EDIT: I should say that I'm not able to do a thing with the Design&Print software on a Mac - runs great under Windows...
