WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The Avery 2160, 2162, 2163, 2180, 2181, and 2186 labels for laser printers are not defined in the Labels feature in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS or Windows. The setup to use these labels involves the creation of a Table rather than the use of Labels.

The Instructions from Avery are as Follows:
1.      Use the Paper Size command (under Layout|Page) to create a new paper size. Select Add or Create. Set the Paper Name to "Avery Mini Sheets," and the Paper Type to Other. Change the Paper Size to User-Defined or Other, the width to 4.25" and the height to 10". Set the Location to Manual, exit the dialog, and select the Avery Mini Sheets papersize. Do not use the Labels option.

2.      Set the margins (under Layout|Margins) as shown in table below:

      Label Left Right Top Bottom
      2160 .813" .813" .5" .30"
      2162 .25" .25" .5" .30"
      2163 .25" .25" .5" .30"
      2180 .406" .406" .5" .30"
      2181 .406" .406" .5" .30"
      2186 .75" .75" .5" .30"

3.      Create a table (Layout|Table) with 1 column and the number of rows as shown in the table below:

      Label Rows Row Height
      2160 9 1"
      2162 7 1.333"
      2163 5 2"
      2180 13 .667"
      2181 13 .667"
      2186 5 2"

4.      If you are using WordPerfect for Windows, select the entire table. Use the Layout|Tables|Row command to set the Row Height to Fixed using the value shown in the table above.

      If you are using WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, use the Layout|Tables|Edit command. Block (select) the entire table. Set Row Height to Fixed using the value shown in the table above.

5.      Move to the center cell (half-way down the table).

6.      Use the Layout|Table|Row or Edit command to set the Row Height of this one cell to a Fixed value of 1".

7.      Type or place a Comment containing the message "Perforation area" in this cell to remind you that this covers the center area between the two sections of labels on the mini sheets. If you are setting this up as a Template form, you may wish to lock this table cell.

8.      Move to top cell, and type your information on the first label. You may wish to add space above the top line of text. Move to each label you want to print and enter information.

9.      If you are using WordPerfect for Windows, select the entire table. Use the Layout|Tables|Lines command to turn off the lines around the cells by setting both the Inside and Outside values to None.

      If you are using WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, use the Layout|Tables|Lines commands to turn off the lines around the cells. Block (select) the entire table. Set both the Inside and Outside setting to None.

10.      Print the mini-sheets using the WordPerfect printer driver. Feed the mini-sheets from the Manual Feed tray.

These Labels are now defined in WPWin 6.1, follow the same steps mentioned in this memo to make these work.
