Right, I have MS Word so I will look at using that.   Scratch my
original comments about the orientation of the labels on the 'Impact'
brand Stationery.  You are right Patrick, they are straight up and
down but contain no wraparound flap.  I was curious, however, whether
the paper code 'LCF' was an international code, and if so whether
Microsoft would have a prelaid out template that I could download.

I got mine from the Warehouse Office Stationary store.  Cost was $9.95
for 100 labels- that's around 10c per label by my calculations.
