    There's a label template built into Word, which has many standard label stationery types built-in (under Envelopes and Labels? I can't recall now).

    If you use OpenOffice, it's also very easy to create your own template to do the same, and save it for future use as a .odt file.

    Also Avery do a free suite that plugs in to MS Office and works well for Ad-Hoc and Batch label printing.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
