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??) Kevin Thompson PolySoft. GISBORNE, New Zealand.
