Avery Label Template for Apple Pages users

December 14, 2016 by Gregg Montgomery

For anyone who needs to print their own address labels using Pages on their Mac, I have made a template that is available for download here –> avery-5160-template. Templates for Avery labels can also be found on Avery’s website, however, they are all provided in Microsoft Word format, and they don’t translate well into Apple’s Pages application. Mac users have long been able to print address labels using the Contacts application by creating a Group, but there is no automated way to print return address labels. So this template is home-made, it works great, and it’s yours for the taking if you need a return address label template (it works for regular address labels as well). This template fits Avery labels 5160, a standard and popular size for address labels. Please note that many Avery label stocks have different numbers due to label colors, etc., but many of these labels still use the standard 5160 label template, which is always noted on the label packaging. You can purchase these labels at any office supply store. Happy labeling!

 

After clicking the link to download the template, be sure to find it in your Downloads folder. Your Downloads folder can be usually be found by opening the Finder (blue happy face icon), and then locating Downloads in the left side bar of the window that opens. Good luck :o)

Tip of the Month

Closing Safari Windows on iPhone/iPad

Don’t forget to close Safari windows to keep your mobile device running fast and to minimize clutter. While browsing the Web in Safari, tapping on links here and there will often generate a new Safari window, leaving the previous window open, but tucked behind the new window, out of view.

Safari can stack up dozens of these open windows, often without much awareness of the user. Having too many windows open can slow down your device, as Safari tries to keep all those Web pages loaded. This can also create visual clutter, leaving users wondering why they can’t open a new Safari window, or how all those open windows got there in the first place.

Closing all your Safari windows can be done by locating the Open Windows icon, which looks like two overlapping squares. Long press the Open Windows icon, and then tap Close All # Tabs. Tabs is just another name for a browser window. And a ‘Long press’ means you need to delay your touch on the icon for just a second or two.

I recommend doing this each and every time you finish browsing the Web on your device. This will keep your device less cluttered, and running a little faster. Don’t forget you can always re-open any Web page that was closed due to that process, by finding it in your History. To find History, tap the Open book icon, and then tap the Clock icon. This will display your History – a list of all the Web pages you were viewing recently. Tap one from the list to re-open that Web page.
