There is enough similarity between label types to enable you
to pick one that is near enough.
They provide for selection of hundreds of Avery labels, but
only their brand, and not user defined types. I use three
different brands, and have always found a near match without
any problems.
The label codes are a good starting point, they seem to
follow some sort of standard numbering system, too good to
be true, I thought, but it works.
I prefer to use Avery Labels, not because I'm a judge of
quality,
but because when I contacted other manufacturers or
distributors of labels about software, I got some very
unprofessional and rude responses. However, the Avery people
responded quite freely, they knew what they were talking

about, and were only too happy to help. They tell me
there  is a '95 version coming soon.
I don't have a copy of MS Orifice anyway.
(should be worth a free pack of labels, don't you think??)
