Adding a Downloaded Template into Template Wizard

G

Guest

I am using Office X for Mac. It has about 100 Avery label templates in the Template Wizard. It does not have a label template for Avery 5497. I downloaded this Template from the Avery Site. Is there any way to drop the template into Office X Word so it will then be shown in the list of Templates in the Wizard? If not can you tell me how to use the Avery Template I downloaded? Right now it appears to be a file just sitting on my desktop. Thanks

Avery templates are simply pre-formatted Word documents and produce the same
result as clicking New document from the envelope label wizard. They cannot
be integrated into the wizard.

Graham, thanks for the answer. So now I know I cannot put the
downloaded Avery template into the Template Wizard. This raises a few
more questions.
1. Where - in what folder or location - should I put the downloaded
template?
2. Once there do I just access it through Open File or?
3. Right now it is on my desktop. I opened it but instead of opening
to 8 1/2 by 11 it opens to a postcard size.
3. How do I rezize it to 8 1/2 by 11, the size of my label sheets?
4. The good news is that I was able to paste my data - it is a symbol-
into each of the label place holders (It is a specialized 1.25 inch
round label which is probably why it is not in the Wizard)
5. Thanks
Bob Greenspan, Tennisman

In the user templates folder the path to which you can see by selecting
Options from the Tools menu and then go to the File Locations tab.

You access it my selecting New from the File menu.

The size that it opens at will be the size that it is. If it does not suit
your label sheet, then it is probably not the right template to be using.

What size are the labels on the sheet? How many rows and columns of them
are there on the sheet?
