Anyone ever tried printing their own labels?
I've just been working out how much the wife spends on stickers for school (she's a Primary Teacher), and fancy having a go at printing some out...
I know its a bit specialised, but does anyone know if I can get software to help me do this, or is it going to be a case of making the labels in Paintshop?

What kind of labels?
M$ Word (tools menu --> envelopes & labels) has a built in label printing tool for address (and various other) labels. It's based on standard (Avery) label sizes available from stationery suppliers.
HTH.

Sorry, should have been clearer.
I'm interested in printing good work stickers - kind of a year 2K version of gold stickers
She spends a fortune on pre-printed ones at present...
The only way I can think of is to use full A4 size labels and print small square stickers which I then cut up.
Anyone got any (sensible) better ideas?

Tell her to stop being so generous with the stickers? 
Sorry, just realised you said sensible. I'll go and sit in the naughty corner for a while!

Cheers for that - those are the labels I need.
Only problem is what software do I use with it? I cannot for the life of me work out how to get the printer to print into the specific area (ie the sticker) and not elsewere on the page...

If you get a hold of some Avery sheets with the stickers on em, MS Word has templates for all avery codes. select the right ones from the list and type in the pre-defined boxes. Job done.
