MS Office label templates

I was setting up a simple MS Access database recently on a friend's PC to contain names and addresses and then using the reports label wizard to create label sheets. I wanted to use the Avery 8160 template. Trouble is they weren't on the installation.

The PC is running MS Office 2003 fully updated.

I tried the same on my PC, also running MS Office 2003 fully updated, and that has the Avery label templates in question. I'm not aware that I've done anything special regarding extra label templates.

How does one get further standard label templates into Access.

For what it's worth, and not too unsurprisingly, the same differences are in MS Word as well.

Not sure of the difference, I can't really compare as I use Office 2007, but you should be able to download the templates separately from Avery's site.

Alternatively, knowing the dimensions, you could create your own template (it should give you that option).

Thanks for those. I could indeed download them from Avery's web site or create a custom one.

I'm rather intrigued as to how my system has more than my friend's PC. In the 11 months I've had my present PC I'm fairly sure that I've not downloaded such templates from Avery, or anywhere else. Both PCs are on standard MS Office 2003 Pro.
