Advice Needed on Creating Avery 5167 Custom Paper Stock - 2/21/2014 9:48:19 PM    bubbie021   Posts: 1 Joined: 2/21/2014 Status: offline I found outi this evening that I couldn't open up my PrintShop 23 Deluxe label files in Print Shop 3.06 Professional. I can't open up 90% of other Printshop 23 files either. Very dissppointing!!! So I looked for the Avery 5167 label stock so I could start from scratch. There were very few Avery lablels listed, very disappointing!!1 Measured the Avery 5167 sheet itself (80 labels, 20 rows, 4 columns, each label .5 x 1.75 inches) Top margin was .5 and left margin was .25 inch. Space between columns was 0.3125 inch. I compared these measurements with Avery 5167 labels in Word 2007 and WordPerfect X6. The "Save button" in the Print Shop Professional 3.06 Custom Paper Stock Dialog box was grayed out. I tried varying the measurements except for the 20 rows and 4 columns. Coulddn't get it to make a new paper stock. Have been searching for answers on the Internet unsuccessfully. I finally downloaded from the Avery web site an Avery 5167 Template for inDesign CS6, and spent 6 hours laying out and aligning the text and graphics. The graphics and text for each label had to be copied and pasted 80 times! After I printed out the first set, I had to realign the text and graphics to the left and down. This is not a good way for doing a label. Labels in Word 2007 never align properly with the paper label sheet. WordPerfect X6 also requires one to copy and paste the text and graphics 80 x from the first label down to the last. This is not very efficient. I liked the way that PrintShop 23 Deluxxe populated the labels all the way down to the bottom of the label sheet. Need advice on proper measurements for creeating a custom Avery 5175 label paper stock. Thank you. Miriam Post #: 1

Go here - it's the fifth video http://ellengard.weebly.com/printmaster-60-and-print-shop-35.html I'll try using your numbers for 5167 and get back to you... < Message edited by ellengard -- 2/21/2014 11:38:11 PM > (in reply to bubbie021) Post #: 2

Open the Print Shop 23, 22 or 21 Project. However, it is rather useless with label projects because only ONE label prints in the center of the sheet! Newletters, cards and other non-multi-up projects seem to convert over OK. (in reply to bubbie021) Post #: 3

Here is a screen capture. Did you input the exact same numbers? Make sure you put in the correct paper dimensions i.e. 8.5 x 11 like my video showed - do NOT input the label size anywhere.
