Instructions

      Enter your contact information into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet or an Access 2007 database. These two programs are designed for storing large amounts of form data you will need for your labels. For example, if you're sending a mailing to friends, enter a name, street address, city, state, and zip code for each member of the list on each row of the spreadsheet or database.

      Save your Excel spreadsheet or Access database document, then close the program. Load Microsoft Word 2007.

      Click "Mailings" then "Start Mail Merge" to begin the process of mailing your contact information with your label template. Select "Labels" from the drop-down list.

      Click inside the first label box and select "Insert Merge Field" on the Word main menu. Insert each field (such as name, street address, and city in the example) exactly as you want it to appear on the sheet of labels. You'll see the words "Next Record" in each subsequent label box. This means the mail merge wizard will automatically fill in the rest of the labels before printing.
