Or just google you question, there's quite a few sites with help.

Once set up it's easy, however, setting it up can be a pain unless you get the correct label template.

Do you have sheets of labels already?

If you do have a look on the packaging and see if the maker supplies a document template you can download.

Once you have the correct template all you do is fill in the labels and print.

You do need the right template, if it's not quite right the printing will drift.

Have look at the Avery site, it will give you some idea.

I once bought some cheap labels off eBay that didn't have a template, I searched in vain for an exact match and it took ages to create one that worked properly, the label size, the borders, everything has to be right.

Now I only only ever buy the same labels that I know work with the templates I have.

Ditto that. We have some labels that we use for Christmas card address labels. We make sure to always get the same ones - setting up the templates can be a lot of trial and error, so once you have something that works well, stick with it!

Only a pain if you use generic labels, get them from avery, then download the template from there site.

I've got one of these http://global.dymo.com/enGB/Segments/Professional_Products.html at home - just plugs into the PC and works a treat.

Of course if you want sheets of labels then Avery is good and there are loads on templates available vis MS Word.
