Avery Dennison Launches New Version of Avery® Wizard


Popular Companion to Microsoft® Office Makes Designing and Printing Easier and Faster Than Ever Before

BREA, Calif., Oct. 3 -- Avery Dennison Office Products has launched a new version of its popular Avery Wizard software that makes it simpler and easier for consumers to organize their homes and offices and express their creativity and individuality.

Avery Wizard 3.0 is an add-in software to Microsoft® Office for Windows® that guides users step by step through the process of producing Avery labels, index dividers, business cards and more, all from within Microsoft® Word.

"The Avery Wizard has been a wonderful companion to Microsoft® Word for years, but version 3.0 takes it to the next level," said Todd Thompson, Vice President Marketing and Research & Development for Avery Dennison. "The new version enables consumers to do even more in less time. They can accomplish everything from a big mailing using a data file to creating a special CD or return address label in a matter of minutes."

"Avery Wizard 3.0 is an excellent tool for getting organized around the home or office, from producing labels for shelves and storage bins to creating professional-looking filing labels, dividers and binder spines," he added. "It was designed to make it easier for users to apply their own personal touches and has been updated to quickly guide even first-time users through the process."

For instance, consumers can customize Avery mailing labels, holiday greeting cards, CD labels and more with graphics or family photos with Avery Wizard 3.0. It also features pre-loaded designer templates that put great- looking designs at the user's fingertips.

In addition, the new version makes the task of sending out invitations and greeting cards simpler than ever. The improved mail merge feature in Avery Wizard 3.0 automatically guides users each step of the way when importing address lists from programs like Microsoft® Excel® to create mailing labels and enables them to complete a mail merge in five easy steps.

Avery Wizard 3.0 for Microsoft® Office, the all-in-one software program that helps users create hundreds of Avery products easier and faster than ever before, is a free download available at www.avery.com/wizard .
