What should I know about the DYMO add-ins?

 

Some of the DYMO software may provide add-ins directly built into third party software, such as Microsoft Office, QuickBooks or ACT!. This article will explain which add-ins exist, where to find and how to use them.

Please note: DYMO Label v.8 is now discontinued, and we cannot guarantee the add-ins will work properly in these third party applications, nor can DYMO Consumer Service assist with the user settings for these third party applications.
