Okay, how do I do these? Where do buy the labels and ...do you print them with your home printer? Are they easy to do?

Re: clear address labels
OK, you can get them at Staples, but DON'T BUY THE STAPLES BRAND, buy AVERY
Then you can use the Avery label number on the box, find it in the label function in MS Word so the labels line up correctly and then you can fill all your info in on the template.
It's pretty easy.
The Staples labels, though, don't line up the same as the Avery even though the box says they're equivalent. FH tried to convince me of this and I didn't believe him and I bought them anyway and they were a nightmare. So stick with the brand name.

You can get them at Staples or any office supply store... just make sure they are compatible with whatever kind of ink your printer uses. Avery makes some pretty good stuff, I would go with that.

Oh, an chances are you have an inkjet priunter at home, so don't buyt he ones for laser printers... I know the difference, but I just happened to pick up the wrong box last time and they don't work for ink jet printers because the ink will never dry on them. I tried.

Re: clear address labels
If by chance you do buy a different brand besides Avery, they should come with a sheet that gives instructions on how to set up your printer/page settings so they will print correctly. Most MSWord programs have the common Avery labels all ready programmed.
Staples has them and you can get the free templates online for microsoft word....

Yeah, the STaples brand tells you 'Equivalent to Avery XXXX' but they still don't line up exactly. They're like a couple millimeters off, still. And the Avery equivalent printed just fine, so I'd stay with Avery.

This is probably good advice...we used the Quill brand ones for our STDs and some of the longer addresses got a lil cut off on the bottom.
