<AFAIK>You can still download their MS Office addin for free. I've
tried their LabelPro product (not free) and I didn't like it as well as
the Office addin. I guess it depends on what your needs are for label
templates but I'm sure you can download updates for anything they make.

Good luck!

The Dymo LabelWriter 4XL prints Labels up to 4.16" wide,
the Zebra GX420t from 0.75" to 4.25" width and 0.38" to
39" length.

I've only used the heavy duty Zebra printers with a VB6 program.

Look at planet source code vb for clsPrintAveryLabels

Maybe that will help.

LabelPro is now called DesignPro and it is free. It's actually pretty
good.
