RE: Creating Labels

Hi Wendy

Thanks for your question. You can customise individual labels as part of the mail merge process - this can be done at the last step of the mail merge. See below for instructions on how to use the Mail Merge Wizard to create labels.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To create labels in Word, use the Mail Merge Wizard (Tools, Letters and Mailings, Mail Merge Wizard).

Select Labels at the first step, click Next.

Use the Label Options link at the second step to select the type of label you are using, click Next.

At the third step use the Browse link to select the source that has the name and addresses that you wish to print on the labels - this can be an Excel spreadsheet, a database, a Word document with the names and addresses stored in a table or the Outlook address book. Click Next.

At the fourth step use the More items link to insert the fields (headings) from your source that you wish to use. These appear on the first label, then click Update all labels to copy them down to all others. You can also change fonts and font sizes on the first label, then click Update all labels copy the same font changes over to all other labels. Click Next.

Click Next at the following screen, then at the last step of the label creation you get the option to Edit Individual labels if you wish to. Then the labels can be printed from the last step as well.

I hope this helps you.
