MyLabel Designer Deluxe

The worst program! First of all, when I purchased it the description said it's compatible with Avery Labels. It only has a few of the Avery label's designs and not all. So, it was useless to me for the project that I wanted to make. Don't waste your money buying it. Avery has a free program that ended up working good for me. Can't believe I wasted my money on this!

User used to be able to set up which labels to print on a partially used sheet and now they've made it so complicated and difficult that it is no longer a great program, I wish I hadn't bought it and I advise others to look for a better product because this one now sucks.

I purchased this product hoping that I could import files from "MyLabels" which is compatable with Windows XP, but not Windows 7.Unfortunately, I could not. Therefore, I had to make all new labels in the new program.Once this was done, I have had no problem, and am happy with this software.

Not very easy to use.Help files are not very well organized.Simple label task become a nightmare and can take hours to research often resulting in not being able to accomplish what I need to doText fields are not easy to place and align. This is NOT a WYSIWYG designer. I often have to accept overlapping text fields in the designer,so it creates a lot of trial and error printing.Increment a simple numeric filed becomes an absolute nightmare !I don't want or should not need to create data entry table etc just to print ten labels with one simple field that increments by 1 from 5001 to 5010The on line help is not good. I have a very fast internet connection but still loading a help subject can take MINUTES.I noticed when the online help is active my system cpu usage pops up to 100% (quad core Xeon 2.8GHz) when I kill the on-line help cpu usage drops to normal.Clearly a problem with the help engine code.This my an humble evaluation, and I really wish some company will soon produce a "real EASY to USE label design program".I've tried several. Each one I've tried has something good, but end up with poor UI.Conclusion: Don't waste your money on this product.

Each design component of this program is easy to understand and quite similar in execution to other label programs on the market. But it was not a stable program on my VISTA operating system, nor was it entirely on XP. Often the existing files were difficult to find and, when found, opened up incredibly slowly. Then, when opened, objects you thought you had placed accurately and saved in position were overlapping or otherwise moved, or they had disappeared entirely. Esssentially, then, I was just rebuilding the label all the time. Then, when pritning the labels, some did not align. I had no problem with 4 x 1 or other return address labels aligning properly. But no amount of calibration got standard business cards to align.From Avery's website, I thus downloaded a free program that offers all the design options offered by MyLabel. It saves the labels accurately, and it aligns the labels and business cards better. It's also a lot easier to operate--except for the printing options.But the only advantage the MyLabel program has over the Avery is that the printing options are superior. You can do a print preview and just "X" out the labels you want to skip on MyLabel. The Avery free program's printing options are more complicated. I still haven't figure the out.Even so, once I installed Avery's free program, I uninstalled MyLabel, after using it for years, flaws and all. It simply never interfaced well with VISTA or XP, and it became more trouble than it was worth.

Good product, received on time

Not only does this program hardly differ from the original program made in 1994, you cannot transfer the files for past programs leaving you to manually input the thousands of addresses wasting literally weeks of valuable time. And when you finally get all the files inputted, you discover that you can't transfer the data TO THE SAME PROGRAM ON THE SAME OPERATING SYSTEM. Seriously, the backup for the program doesn't even work. Do not waste money on this program.

I wanted to provid some very positive personal feedback on “My Label Deluxe 9”.It is a “Dream”. It has the core DNA from very old “MY DELUXE LABEL DESIGNER” from many years ago.I began using the My Advanced Label Maker from almost 20 years ago. My original software was used to create numerous personal labels and personal mailing list.Over many years , I mastered most of the functions of this outstanding “MySoftware” program. I became so reliant on this old software, I kept an old Windows XP ancient laptop exclusively to run My Advanced Label Maker. My reason for doing this is that these old DOS based programs did not work on the more advanced Windows 10 / 11 Operating Systems .Recently my ancient laptop died a worthy death. It had served me for almost 20 years. Once, this happened , I went on an elaborate search for a worthy label designing software that did not require me to re-mortgage my home. My Label Deluxe 9 was exactly what I wanted!Accidentally, I stumbled onto My Label Deluxe 9. It is a wonderful , full-featured label and mailing list program that works perfectly in Windows 10 / 11 environment. I couldn’t believe it is an enhanced version of this ancient well-designed program. I am extremely grateful to have found it. I have mastered most of this new updated version , but have yet to figure out printing envelopes on my HP Inkjet…….. but I am working on it. I could not be any happier with this software find.
