This does not require a word processing program, so might be what she needs.

We use the Avery add ons a lot at work with Word (should be a safe site). Tested it, works fine. Best to print a sheet on plain paper first to see how it lines up prior to printing on label sheets, each printer lines up a little different.

Those are the only free ones I could find right away. I'm at work right now so I can't really spend a lot of time looking.... but if these aren't suitable, I'll try to find some others. There seems to be a serious lack of 100% free label utilities. Most are trials and cost anywhere from $15.00 to $299.00!!!!

I hope these help!

Open Office is free, if the person doesn't have MSOffice or Corel WordPerfect, both of which can print labels using avery templates.
In OO, open a new document window

1.Choose File - New - Labels to open the Labels dialog.
2.On the Labels tab, under Format, define the label format.
OpenOffice.org Writer contains many formats of commercially available sheets for labels, badges, and business cards. You can also add other, user-defined formats.
3.On the Labels tab, under Inscription, you can choose what you want written on the labels.
This often involves database fields, so that the labels can be printed with varying content, when sending "Form Letters" for example. It is also possible to have the same text printed on every label.
Use the Database and Table list boxes to select the database and table from which the data fields are obtained. Click on the arrow button to transfer the selected data field into the inscription area. Press Enter to insert a line break. You can also enter spaces and any other fixed text.
On the Format tab you can define your own label formats, not covered by the predefined formats. To do this, select "User" from the Type list box. On the Options tab, you can specify whether all labels or only certain ones are to be created.
4.On the Options tab page, make sure that the Synchronize contents box is selected. If this is selected, a label only has to be entered (on the top left label) and edited once.
5.As soon as you click on New Document, you will see a small window with the Synchronize Labels button. Enter the first label. When you click on the Synchronize Labels button, the current individual label is copied to all the other labels on the sheet.
6.Click on New Document to create a new document with the settings you have entered.
Click to expand...
