Should I blame the English sense of humour or the American lack of one? Not so easy referring to the Open Office Manuals and Guides, is it? Nor am I that "lazy". There are small images of the template layouts and I have listed the ones that will produce 10 cards per sheet. So now I need a cross reference from, presumably, US templates/product codes to European/UK product codes. The "10" refers to the number of product sheets in the pack. For example, I am "looking" at a product with the code C32015-10. But the product codes are not the same as those used in Europe or the UK. Unfortunately, where it says that the template is suitable for use with Avery products, it says things like "same size as Avery 5371", "works with Avery 27882", "compatible with 8371". However, I've found templates, said to be suitable for Avery products, that are prepared by. The templates are designed to work with Microsoft Word of one version or another. Having contacted Avery, none of its downloadable templates will, it says, work with Open Office. ĭoes anyone feel up to taking pity on me? Fortunately, I quickly switched to using plain paper and comparing the results to an Avery product sheet. Nothing comes out of the printer the way it should. The card dimensions seem to be difficult to establish with wording registering higher, lower, left or right. The template I used to use in Word seemed to take account of the format of the Avery product, including the header. Apparently the company has changed and its website is not particularly helpful. Identifying and obtaining an appropriate Avery product seems to be considerably more difficult. But the templates don’t seem to be in Writer and finding one online has not been successful.
On the face of it, producing business cards should be easy with an Avery product that leaves clean edges. Time was that I happily fought my way through tomes on Excel Visual Basic, but those days have also gone despite having more time at my personal disposal. As you can probably tell, I am in no way a “techie”. The one time that I’ve bought an Avery product for producing business cards, the whole alignment was way out. And, apparently, Avery as I knew it here in the UK. And the PCs and printers that I used to use then. Those days are gone! As has Microsoft Word. Just buy the correct Avery product, complete the template, put a sheet of the product in the printer and all was well. Word was equipped with all the necessary Avery templates. When it came to producing business cards at home, it was almost too easy. Also brain and patience seem to be getting exhausted.īack in the day, before I discovered Open Office, I used to use the Microsoft Office suite. The first thing is that I have now advanced sufficiently in years that I am retired. Okay, the subject heading should tell you all you need to know, but I will expand a little.
