Avery Label Template Locations

[GoBonnieGo]

I can download a template for Avery File Folder Labels (#5202) but can't seem
to find where all the label templates are housed to be able to save it so I
can find it easily the next time I want to use it. It's not a document
template 'cause I looked in there. Anyone know the location of the label
templates so I can save it in that folder? Thanks.

If you downloaded it from www.avery.com, what you received is a Word
document. It's the same thing you would get if you selected the same label
style in the Labels dialog (if it was there) and clicked the New Document
button.

You can open that document, click File > Save As, and change the "Save as
type" dropdown to Word Template. That will change the extension from .doc to
..dot and change the folder to the standard User Templates folder. Click OK.
Whenever you want to use this template, click File > New (and then, in Word
2002 or 2003, click "On my computer" in the task pane) and select the
template from the dialog.

What this Avery "template" does *not* do is add any label definitions to the
Options list in the Labels dialog. You could define a custom label in that
dialog and give it the dimensions of the 5202 label, but that's something
different.

Thank you for this reply. I did know how to save a Word template, but was
trying to avoid saving it in the doc template area since I'd like to look for
it in the labels template area. I was also trying to avoid creating a custom
label since Avery had a "template" available. Too bad they couldn't work
together on this. Guess I'll create a custom label.

Thanks anyway.
