I don't know of any pre-cut laser labels that are small enough for a V-M reel.
Avery makes ones about 1-3/4" by 1/2" which are perfect to label 2x2 slides, but
are way too big for V-M. Your best bet would probably be to use CorelDraw or
some similar program that allows you to treat blocks of text like a graphic. Set
up a circle with a diameter of a little under 2", mark off 7 sectors, and add
text. Then print it to a one-up Avery label, cut to size, and stick. It's a
method that puts your kindergarten skills to good use, but it's probably the
easiest in the long run.

By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Mitch Walker, one of
the west's premiere advocates of View-Master, to the list.
