An alternative to Word?

I'm glad you found a solution to your problem! If you would like to try another program my son told me about open office, its free and looks almost the same as work but with lots more fonts. Very easy to use too. I can't remember where i downloaded it from but if you look for it on google i'm sure it will come up.
All the best

Thanks Anagram Annobel and everyone else! Of course, why didn't I think of envelopes! That was the one icon I passed over Its worked and I've got some nice labels for the backs of my paintings..trust Gransnetters to know the answer! But I still wish we could have Windows 97 back

You could use PoerPoint but then you would have to resize for your labels. That would be easy if you use the 2 on A4 size

Yes, that's what I meant - it's just that I have the 'envelopes' icon saved on my toolbar and forgot how I got it there!

I have Word 2010. If you go into the 'mailings' menu, and click on the envelopes and labels icons on the far left, that will give you the same choices as the old Word used to. Don't know about decorative borders though.

Hi specki, there used to be a free download from Avery that would let you design and print any size and shape labels, and use clip art as well.

I don't know about decorative borders, specki, but you can run off labels using the envelope icon in Word - I don't think that's changed?
