This software doesn't work with Windows 7. It hangs with no error messages and completely stops working and has to be killed from the task manager. I have problems on a home laptop as well as my work desktop computer. As long as I'm not making any graphic changes, it _sometiimes_ works long enough to print something useful.

Re: 5.5 and Windows 7, I just spoke with Avery tech support. They say that 5.5 will install on 32 bit Windows 7 only. Avery is working on fix so that it will install on the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

My experience is that Design Pro 5.5 does not, in fact, work with Windows 7. From the Q & A here and on other sites, it seems like most people are finding the same thing. Is Avery working on a patch? (HINT: Update the operating system choices below to include Windows 7)

Change the date 01-01-2011 and run setup again .
and Change the date back again to the correct date after setup

Also try installing as an administrator. I was having similar issues so uninstalled and reinstalled as an administrator. All my problems are gone.

Yes you can import your own picture as you need. Design Pro can print many different sized labels included with the software, you can start by choosing a "blank" template. If you are unable to find your size label, you can create your own size as well.

New templates and fixes.

Excel has a format for ZIP and ZIP+4

Select the cell you want to format this way (or the whole column or row, if all your ZIP codes are in a column or row and nothing else is in it that you don't want formatted as ZIP).

Right-click on the cell, column or row and select the Format cells... item from the pop-up menu. This will open a window titled Format Cells. If the Numbers tab on that window isn't selected, click on it to select it. You should see a list of Categories - click on the Special item in the list.. One of the items that will appear in the Type box is ZIP Code. Click on that item and the numeric entry in Excel should be formatted correctly.

Please post back if this does or doesn't work for you so others will know...

This is ridiculous. DesignPro 5.5 does not work with Windows 7, 64 bit whether you run it as administrator or adjust the compatibility mode, or whatever. It's totally annoying that a well known company like Avery would not either fix this or state so on the download page BEFORE someone on a deadline wastes time downloading the product and spending several hours trying Avery's supposed fixes. I'd expect that in software from a dubious source. All these people here are saying the same thing, and unless you fix or upgrade this product you should warn that it doesn't work with Windows 7, 64 bit.
