Address database | Lables

Hi Eliza

Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, this is possible.

In Word, go to Mailings > Start Mail Merge > Labels. Choose the label type based on the brand of label paper you use. Then go to Select Recipients > Select from Outlook Contacts.

From here the wizard should guide you through the process of marrying up names and addresses etc.

If you want to start this process from scratch, personally I would do it in an Excel spreadsheet. Set up a new file with some headings (First Name, Last Name, Street Address etc) and fill it in this way. This has a document which multiple people can access and work with and you will probably think of other things you can do with this data.

To use this data you would perform the process above but instead go to Select Recipients > Use Existing List. Browse to your Excel file from here.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
