Make an easy-to-read personal phonebook
First, think about how you want to format this phonebook. I'd put two contacts on each page. That way the pictures and text can be big enough. You're going to print out these contacts. You have a couple of options there. You can just print them out on paper. And that works. A more versatile option may be labels. You can buy sheets of printable labels. These can be stuck in a book, or wherever you want them. I recommend using Avery labels. Their easy-to-use label templates are already in Microsoft Word 2007. And they can be easily downloaded for earlier versions of Word. You can find their printable labels at many office supply stores. Premade or custom? I can (and will) show you how to customize the template. But I've also done the work for you. At the end of this tip you'll find a download link. Click on it and you'll get a Word document. Then just fill in the blanks and print. You may not want to use my template. So, I'll show you how to build one yourself. You can lay it out however you'd like. If you plan to print on labels, start by visiting Avery's site. What you do will depend on which version of Office you have. If using Office 2007, the Avery templates are already in Word. But they are categorized by product number. If you've purchased the labels, the number is on the box. If not, get it from the Web site. Find the product you want, and take down the product number. Using shipping labels I'm going to use large, two-per-sheet shipping labels. The product number is 18126. If using Office 2003, you'll need to download a template. On the Avery site, click Find a Template. Choose Templates for Microsoft Word. Then download whichever template you want. I recommend "Shipping Label – Weatherproof, 2 per sheet." The downloaded template is actually a preformatted Word document. Just open it and customize from there. Know someone who could benefit from this? Click here for more!

I have a 92-year-old aunt who has trouble living on her own. She has problems seeing, and must use a magnifying glass to read. I'd like to make her a personal phonebook. It will need large letters and a picture of each person. Is there an easy way to make this?
This is a great project. Your aunt is really going to benefit from this. And I'll bet other readers would like to do the same thing. Plus, it's actually pretty easy.
