I think you meant to ask Becky those questions. She said she found the envelopes and business cards so I assumed she was in the right place and Harvey commented that installing the Label templates was not the default on some versions.
You may be right, though. The business cards and envelopes aren't in the Layout>Page Setup They are in "New from Template". There's a Label tab there but no Avery templates to be found. She probably tried to open a "New from Template", rather than going to Layout>Page Setup.

Try Layout>Page Setup and see if your Avery templates are there.

You just showed me a good short cut to get to the same place. This program is amazing.
Thanks,

Holy Cow!!
I had no idea all of this stuff was in here!! I do a lot of work with labels but not much in Corel simply because I was comfortable with the program I was using and am still learning Corel.
What fantastic tools and shortcuts you both introduced!!
I was using New from Template and just figured that was all that was in there for labels and stuff.
Congratulations to both of you...you have done something my husband has been trying to get me to do for years.....stop using my old graphics program all together. (I hesitate to mention it by name for fear of being laughed out of this forum LOL)
I am total Corel convert now!!!
Thanks for you help everyone!!

This thread brings this question to mind.
When you package plaques or trophies that have different inscriptions, places, etc. do you label the outside of the packaging of each item?
I have always done but have opened MS Word and cut and paste or retyped the info. Having been shown where the label layouts are will make this much easier to do.
Thanks!

I do label the outside of each award but I don't print the labels. I usually just write right on the box very small and non descript or if one letter will be enough to distinguish, then I do that. Or I will just handwrite a label. Sometimes it's easier and faster.
Mostly mine are onesies that wouldn't justify a label. However, if I had repeats then I would generate labels. 'Specially now that I know how to in Corel!!! Woo hoo!!
(really doesn't take much to make this girl happy LOL)

On some special awards that come in boxes I have made a label that had a replica of the plaque on it.
Glad you brought it up, I have to start doing that again when appropriate.

Becky,
I must assume that your handwriting is much better than mine. My handwriting is horrible.
I do not label onesies twosies either but I have been fortunate to have picked up a few repeat customers who order for shows or competitions with many different trophies or plaques. When I did the first order I was boxing up the trophies and I thought to myself "How would I like to receive a box of trophies for 10 different classes with six places each all wrapped with no idea which is which?" Fortunately I thought that early in the packing so I only had to unbox a few to label them. I cut and pasted the plate info into Word and printed on Avery 8160 labels because that is the size I had on hand. Could use smaller but why change?
I have never had anybody complain that I made it too easy on them. :-)

James-
You are also way luckier than I to have gotten bigger jobs than me. LOL
I actually don't do too many awards and the jobs I have gotten, I have had to distinguish between 3 different awards or 8 different clocks at a time. Nothing earth shattering...
If I had repeat business like yours in those quantities I would absolutely label them all. I think it's more professional and is easier for a customer to organize their order without have to take each out of the box.

If not I usually scan it in to paste the text.
I just print a copy of the list on regular paper, slice and dice it and tape
it to the outside.
Mostly only on acrylics and awards that come in boxes. A lot of trophies and regular plaques don't get labeled unless they request it.

Becky,
I have a free tutorial that shows you how they work. You don't need a file, you just haven't found them yet.
