Print Addresses on Mailing Labels

You can merge names and addresses from your mailing list and print them on Avery labels or other types of mailing labels using a dot-matrix or laser printer. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need to do. For more information, look up Getting Results - Word Mailing in Help.

First, set up a form for the mailing labels: Click the New button to create a new document, click Mail Merge (Tools menu), click Create, and then click Mailing Labels. When a message about the document window appears, click Active Window. Click Get Data, and then select the data source: your mailing list or address book. When a message appears, click Set Up Main Document.

Select the label options you want, and then click OK.

Start labels from the File menu   Click New (File menu). On the Letters & Faxes tab, double-click the Mailing Label wizard. This starts the Mail Merge Helper. Create a page with the same label   Click Envelopes and Labels (Tools menu), click the Labels tab, and then type the name and address. If you want a label size other than the Avery Standard, click Options, select the label options you want, and then click OK. Make sure the Full page of the same label option is selected, and then click Print. Need custom labels?   With Word you can have as many kinds of custom labels as you like. Follow the instructions above until the Label Options dialog box is displayed. Click the New Label button, and then specify the label size and number of labels per sheet. Want to print addresses on envelopes?   Click Mail Merge, click Create, and then click Envelopes. Click Get Data, and then either create a mailing list or open an existing mailing list. Then set up how the addresses will be printed on the envelopes. Have you stored names and addresses in a Microsoft Excel list?   From your Microsoft Excel list, you can run the Microsoft Access Label Wizard to create mailing labels. Open the Microsoft Excel workbook that contains your list, click the appropriate worksheet tab, and then click anywhere in the list. Click Access Report (Data menu), and then click Label Wizard.
