Doubling Your Money

Summary: Make your money last longer by using your head when printing labels. Here's a great example of how you can double the usage you get from your labels. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

No, this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. (I will leave that to other e-mail you may get. ) Instead, this is a common-sense way to double the value you get from some of your label stock. You should consider different ways you can use your label stock to make it go further.

For instance, imagine you are using the Avery 3M Post-it notes for ink jet or laser printers. The 3 x 4-1/4 version of these labels are six per page, but you can change to a landscape format and design twelve per page, instead. After printing, cut the sheets in half with a paper cutter, and you have effectively doubled your money.

You can use the same technique with other types of printer labels—just think how you are going to use them, and then look for easy ways to extend how they are used. Clever uses of the labels can be very cost effective in the long run.

Tip #1288 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
