Printing mail labels from Works database

For many years I have used a  Works database of names and addresses to print mailing labels.

Trying to do this today I get a message that  the template is no longer available.

Is there any other way to do this from the existing database?

    do you mean Microsoft Works?

    This was discontinued in 2009 so is probably not supported anymore.

    You might be able to convert your MS Works file to something more up-to-date like Excel or LibreOffice Calc just by opening the file in the new program.

    Of course your method/procedure for printing labels would need to change to point to the new file, the templates you were using will probably not work/be available.
