Answers
Explanation:
With your address list set up in an Excel spreadsheet, Outlook Contacts, or a new list you created, you can use mail merge in Word to create mailing labels.
Go to Mailings > Start Mail Merge > Labels.
In the Label Options dialog box, choose your label supplier in the Label vendors list.
In the Product number list, choose the product number on your package of labels.
Tip: If none of the options match your labels, choose New Label, enter your label's information, and give it a name. Choose OK to add the new label to the Product number list.
Choose OK.
Your document now displays a table with an outline of the labels. If you don't see the table, go to Table Layout and select View Gridlines.
Go to File > Save to save your document.
Go to Mailings > Select Recipients, and then choose an option.
