The last of my Christmas Presents , now I can concentrate on the food side

Won a bid on Ebay for vintage portable typewriter 1950's, needed because my ability to hand write has gone down hill, £19.50 including delivery. :)

Computer plus printer not an easier option?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Unfortunately Snoopz in my case no, I tried writing names and addresses of people I intended to send Christmas cards to, on a word app I had, with the intension of transferring it onto self adhesive labels but the result was less than satisfactory. What I intend to do, if I wish to send cards again to my friends and family is to type their details directly on to the labels and then photocopy several sheets for future use. It takes me all day just to write their names. Unless someone else on here has other suggestions :confused:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I'm no expert but others will be, I think your problem is you're not selecting the correct template for printing address labels and when you use the correct software it'll be a 1000 times easier than going back to the dark ages type writer and your hands will thank you for it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks Snoopz, perhaps someone (on here) could recommend me the required software. :)




PS Too late I have bought the typewriter

The address label sheet will be of a certain format ie Avery L7163

here is how you do it in word. I imagine with some playing you will be able to create a full sheet with different addresses on but this only shows you full sheet or single label

Was going to go out shopping today but the roads are very slippy and the car doors will not open,

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Maybe a label printer would be an option. Plugs in straight to your computer via USB cable and with the included software will let you print directly to the sticky labels.
Something like this:

Drat! I should have asked the question before I bought the typewriter. :dunce:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

It did not cost you much and you can use it now while you practice in Word or similar

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hey I'm a poor pensioner lol!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Then the typewriter cost a lot less than the label maker hahaha
