![]() ![]() ![]() I actually started to write something in VB.net to do this, but getting the whole thing to work with the qrz.com backend was just too much for my feeble coding skills. I am surprised it has not been done yet since the Avery label format has been a standard for 15+ years and I see many other cards coming in from hams that use the same labels I do. ![]() and am no longer having the problem with my windows installer program. If and I mean IF I could find logging software that would not only look up the call, grab the address info but also format these into the same label format to print out, then I would consider making the switch over. I am trying to install Avery Wizard 5.0 on my Window 8.1 install with Office 2013. Doesn't take very long to run through them, since I have to look them up anyways to validate the callsign. ![]() I bring up the Avery wizard in Microsoft Word and then I cut and paste each station's address into the sheet right from QRZ.com. When I send QSL's out, I like to use the standard Avery label sheets. Personally, I find sending and receiving traditional cards one the best parts of this hobby!ĮDIT: I forgot to mention one thing. Writer has its own labels wizard with a huge selection of Avery forms and an option to define. For contesting I use N1MM and then download the completed contest log into DXKeeper, just a couple of mouse clicks. When it comes to spacing and positioning of content, MS Word and OOo Writer have inherent differences, so most likely a template made for MS Word will be misaligned if you use it in Writer, and installed macros/wizards will not work. DXKeeper is the logging program and it makes using Logbook of the World for awards completely painless. I still send traditional cards for all of my logged QSO's and I always include a SASE envelope for domestics or $2 worth of greenbacks for international. The DXLab Suite of products are free, robust, easy to use and extremely well supported. Call me old fashioned, but I still use the ARRL spiral log books and I like "QSL Man" W4MPY QSL cards. ![]()
