I am trying to find ProWrite-any ideas?

I had ProWrite on my old computer-looking for it today to download it and it
seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know where to find it?

ProWrite was an add in that integrated with Outlook and made printing labels
a snap. I have tried to find it but just reach dead ends. That was why I
asked if anyone knew where it had gone and perhaps how I could find it.

Thanks to all of you for your help. The ZDnet was the same as the one I found
on CNET and was downloadable but not supported and so did not work. Avery
responded to me by saying they do not offer their version anymore and have
not been in touch with Nerosoft. I think they must be out of business. It was
such a great program-you just highlighted the addresses in Outlook-clicked on
Prowrite and after a couple more clicks your labels were ready. This mail
merge is just so complicated and not intuitive for me. But I will soldier on.
Thanks again for your help.

http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/printlabel.asp has other label utilities -
the prowrite one 404's. I'll see if I can find a new one, if not, I'll
delete the link.

I too am desperatly in need of ProWrite or something that works almost like it.
I went to the websites shown and wasn't able to get it. I bought a program
called alsadidn out of australia that might be okay, but I want Prowrite. No
answer at nereosoft and their website is offline.

Hi,
I had no luck. I had a bad computer and had started over I was able to
re-load the Prowrite program but when it went to look for templates there was
nothing out there-it seems like Nerosoft has gone out of business. I have not
been able to find anything to replace it. The mail merge mess is going to be
the only answer. I hate that! Prowrite was so great.
Good luck and write back if you finid anything-I will too.

in xp look for your prowrite templates on your old computer here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\templates\Prowrite
Do you think you can send me prowrite or a link to where I can download it?
I gave a template a ridiculous name...zebra1...then searched for it...only
one surfaced, so I found out where this stuff was saved.

Thanks I will try that-I will have to look around my back up box to see if
this is in there. We are in Seattle and dealing with the snow and the
holidays-it is crazy so I will do this after the holidays and will let you
know if it works.
Here is what I did last month-I went to:
http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000375,39123593s,00.htm
got the download and then could not use it.
I also emailed Avery as they seemed to have a version but they said they had
discontinued it and had not been in contact with Nerosoft.
Good luck-I will soon have to do something-I have a lot of fairly large
mailing lists that I will have to use soon and I do not want to type into
excel-one name at a time!
Been there done that already!
Best,
Jane

I figured some of this Prowrite out. I don't need Prowrite anymore. You
select a contact or a group of contacts and then go to Outloook 2007, tools,
mailmerge and then pull up an old prowrite template. (I still don't know the
correct extension..if it is .docx or dotx). From the Word 2007 Mailings
ribbon, preview results I saw all my custom fields filled in correctly. I
had to go to my templates and re insert the non custom fields.

I don't know how I am going to do Prowrite's label thing yet when I print a
full page of 30 labels to the same address. ( I give tenants 30 labels as
part of their move in package.) Maybe Microsoft Outlook software designers
gave me that too. Somewhere.

I figured out that Outlook 2007 eliminates the need for prowrite. I thought
this was the case but when I opened my custom forms, the fields didn't fill
in. AS I recall years ago when I changed from Act to Outlook I think I had
the same problem. Funny thing is all my custom fields filled in it was the
non custom fields I had to reinsert into the forms. I still have a problem
with the extensions. I don't know if my template extensions are .docx or
dotx. The default save to template saves them to dotx but I have to click
the all files tab. This isn't logical to me yet anyway.
This is how I did it: In contacts, Tools, mail merge, all contact fields,
existing document and browsed for it. (I read an outlook tutorial somewhere
and it said to create a new template file in my documents which I did and
moved all my prowrite templates to this file) I opened the template and the
word ribbon guided me from there. Everything worked after I deleted and
reinserted the default fields.
This is why Prowrite isn't out there anymore. With my templates stored in
the my documents section I'll never loose them again. My custom forms are
still stored in application data\local\microsoft\forms. I had to redo them
once and didn't want to do that again but that isn't a prowrite issue. I
moved from the old computer to the new computer my signatures files too so I
didn't have to redo them this time either. The images didn't move over
correctly but that was easy to correct. I am in the pacific northwest too.
The holidays and snow was the perfect time to wade thru the tutorials to
figure this out. There should be a tutorial for this issue but once I
figured it out it was pretty intuitive and it should have been a 30 minute
fix not the better part of a couple days.
