Organizing your papers is easy when you use Microsoft Word and Avery's templates. They have combined their computer software skills and created easy to use templates.
Organize your papers using Avery Dennison labels and dividers. The labels and dividers can be purchased at any office supply store or on line at Avery. They have a large selection to choose from. My favorite is the clear labels or tabs, with a "Clear View" binder. Microsoft Office comes standard with many of the Avery label templates. All of Avery's products come with instructions inside the package. You may need to go to their website and download the template, or there will be instructions on how to create or modify an existing template.

- Check your printer setting before printing the tabs, you don't want to print on the wrong side An easy way to check how your printer works is to take a blank piece of 8 ½ x 11 inch paper, write the word "Up" and draw an arrow facing away from you. Place this paper into the printer with the word "UP", facing up, and the arrow facing away from you, tnen print. (Some printers print on the top side of the paper, and others flip the paper over and print on the bottom.)
