Avery Software

Sorry, but I can't make any type of recommendation on other software titles as I've never tried them. We only occasionally prints labels, and the templates from Avery for MS Word is all we've ever needed, or used.

I was playing with the 5160 label template, and it's not as easy to adjust the position as it used to be. An older version of the template we have doesn't even show the spacing lines between the addresses in Office 2011.

I downloaded a new 5160 template, and that one does show the label positions, but they can't be moved without choosing "Convert Document", but at least you can do it. Using the mouse or keyboard to make small movements is pretty much impossible, but once you have all of the labels selected (Shift click on each one until you have them all marked), you can then use the positioning values at the top right (see below).

If you have MS Word for Mac, Avery supplies Word templates for just about all of their sheet labels.

I believe this is the correct one. According to the specs, it covers all three numbers you list.

I've used a couple of their templates before. What I do to make them fit is print first put something in all of the place holders. Then print it on plain paper (assuming an 8.5" x 11" sheet). Hold your test print over the actual stickers up to a strong light and see how they line up. Move the entire template as necessary until a plain paper print lines up as it should, then print on the actual stickers.

It's always up to the person who started the thread who to award Solved or Helpful points to. No one else can see those buttons. So award them as you see fit.

Just a "so's ya's know". You can award them to yourself, but you get no points for doing so. A necessity so users can't make thousands of posts just to raise their own ranking.

At times, a person does solve the issue themselves, in which case marking your own post of the correct answer is still the right thing to do since that answer then appears at the top with the original post so other users can easily see the solution. Especially if it becomes a long topic and could take a little while to find otherwise.

But I'm willing to keep at it in helping you come to a real solution. If I can figure it out, that is. But it is an open forum, so the answer you need could come from any other number of users.

In this case, Apple can't really do anything. Avery is the only company who can fix issues for their software since only they have the source code. Apple (just like Microsoft) make new versions of the OS available ahead of release to all vendors so they can test their products and prepare updates or upgrades that work as expected when the new OS does come out. Sounds like Avery didn't.

Likewise, only Microsoft can do what is necessary to fix Office (Word, Excel, etc.). Though personally, I had no problem opening old label documents I have. The older Avery templates don't appear correctly (can't see or modify the label positions), but I can edit the text and print them.

Using Avery software can be a problem.

I have been using Avery DesignPro for a very long time with good results, not perfect but good.

PROBLEM... finding Avery DesignPro is virtually impossible.

DesignPro works in my Nehalem Mac Pro from OSX 10.5 to 10.11.

Having said that...

An odd thing happened in Mavericks.

I can no longer open DesignPro files directly. (it will just crash and quit)

I CAN open DesignPro and open any file from within DesignPro.

Other than some long standing problems with "some" templates, DesignPro works quite well.

I have a copy DesignPro (freeware) but don't know how to share it.

Next topic.

I just began trying to use the newest replacement for DesignPro named DesignPrint. (also freeware)

My experience is very minimal at the moment but I do see something that is most likely important to your post.

DesignPrint launches Java (jre) that appears a "CommandBridge" when opening DesignPrint.

A white screen appears for roughly 15 seconds then DesignPrint launches.

It is running JAVA, make no mistake.

This "MAY" be important to you.

Every time you update OSX you can (and often do) lose your Java installation.

This affects many third party programs, Adobe Illustrator for example.

First step would be to try a reinstall of Java since my Avery software uses Java.

(search for Java for OS X 2015-001.dmg)

It is an Apple designed java for OSX.

There are MANY ways to print using free Avery templates.

Word, Pages, Numbers, Adobe apps, etc.

First step is to decide which application you wish to use.

I have used DesignPro, DesignPrint, Photoshop, Pages, Numbers, Word, Canvas, PrintLife, and a few others.

My most reliable (and easiest) has been DesignPro.... figures.... virtually impossible to find.

My experiences with DesignPrint have just begun, but I have seen an avalanche of complaints.
