printing labels

[brady]

whenI was using windows 95 I could print labels for my
christmas card list in works without a problem.

why can't I do this in windows xp

christmas fast approaching and would hate to have to
write envelopes by hand

any advise appreciated

Not sure why you can't, you don't tell us what the symptoms are. What's the
exact problem? Error messages? Do you own/have Works on cd or did it come
pre-installed as a bonus program?(it is not, and never was, included with
wimdows)

Greetings

What software are you having problems with. No version of Windows includes
a program to make labels.

Because when you had W95 you also had WORKS installed.

You can buy WORKS from any retailer for $50-100 (depending
on version) and install it on Windows XP. Windows is an
operating system.

We bought a cheapie program called "My Labels" after moving to xp. We
used to use dBase 3 (which appears to work in xp). 'My Labels' will
import data from several popular database formats. It keeps its data
in a table similar to a spreadsheet and you can choose a lot of
different label formats for both sheet feed and pin feed printers.
Its a pain to learn at first but it does the job. It has its own field
names that you can associate with you existing database. Good Luck.
