Select a Format Step

For most project types the Select a Format step of the New Project Setup Assistant allows you to select Tall or Wide orientation of your project.

When you work with an envelope, greeting card, or label project, you can select one of the predesigned formats for the project, including Avery templates. If you cannot find the Avery product you want to use among the Avery templates available in the Select a Format step, take a look at Avery projects and numbers table to find the compatible template.

In the Select a Format step:

1.  The formats available depend on the project type. Click one of the formats types on the left. You will see a preview on the right, indicating the orientation and how the project will be folded (if it is a foldable project).

2.  Beneath the format list is the Paper Size pop-up menu. Choose the paper size you will be using with your printer. (The paper size is always the US Letter 8-1/2 x 11 for projects based on the Avery templates.)

3.  Click the Continue (for the Help Me Design method) or Done (for the Start from Scratch method) button to proceed. If you are working with a Help Me Design project, you will proceed to the Select a Backdrop step. If you are working with a Start from Scratch project, the project will open on the Design Desk.

4.  Click the Go Back button to return to the Select a Method step.
