Problem with Avery Labels in Word on my Mac

I downloaded some Avery templates to use in Word. The templates didn’t work as expected and now when I open up a new doc in Word, instead of a blank new document, it defaults to a template box with no way to delete or remove it from the new doc.


Has anyone else had this problem and were you get it resolved?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6

Opening Word to Blank Document Page:

  1. Go to: Word menu
  2. Select: Preferences
  3. Click: General tab
  4. Uncheck: Show Document Galley when opening word (top-right corner)
