Learn how to create recipient address labels efficiently using the mail merge feature in Microsoft Word, including setting up a recipient list, formatting address blocks, and previewing the final labels.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Mail Merge
Creating recipient address labels manually can be tedious and time-consuming. Fortunately, Microsoft Word offers a more efficient method called mail merge. This process allows you to automate the creation of labels by merging a list of addresses with a label template. -
Starting the Mail Merge Process
To begin, navigate to the 'Mailings' tab in Word and select 'Start Mail Merge,' then choose 'Labels.' You will need to select your label options, which can be the same labels used in previous projects. After clicking 'OK,' Word will generate a new document with blank labels. -
Viewing Label Gridlines
To better visualize the layout of your labels, click on the 'Table Tools Layout' tab and select 'View Gridlines.' This will help you see the boundaries of each label as you work. -
Creating a Recipient List
Next, you need to add addresses to your labels by creating a recipient list. Go back to the 'Mailings' tab, click 'Select Recipients,' and choose 'Type a New List.' Click on a box under the header row to start entering your data. You can use the 'Tab' key to move right and 'Shift + Tab' to move left, allowing for quick data entry. To add more recipients, click 'New Entry.' You can include as many recipients as needed and modify the list at any time. Once finished, click 'OK,' name your list, and save it. -
Formatting the Address Block
With your blank labels and recipient list ready, the next step is to format how the addresses will appear on the labels. The easiest way to do this is by adding an address block. In this section, you can choose how you want the name to be displayed. For a less formal format, select the appropriate option and preview the changes. You can also decide whether to include the company name and whether to display the country or region. Note that the address format may vary based on the country, such as postal code formatting in France. -
Finalizing the Address Block
After setting up the address block, return to the preview of the first entry and click 'OK' to add the block to the first label. To apply this format to all labels, click 'Update Labels.' -
Previewing and Printing Labels
To see how the actual labels will look, instead of the mail merge codes, click 'Preview Results.' At this stage, you may notice that some addresses are cut off, and you might want to add a small logo. The next steps will involve formatting the labels and incorporating graphics to enhance their appearance.
FAQ :
What is mail merge and how does it work?
Mail merge is a process used to create personalized documents for multiple recipients. It works by merging a template document with a recipient list, allowing you to automatically fill in names and addresses on labels or letters.

What should I do if my labels are cut off when printing?
If your labels are cut off, you may need to adjust the label formatting or the margins in your document. Ensure that the label size matches the settings in your printer and that the layout is correctly set up.
Is it possible to add graphics or logos to my labels?
Yes, you can add graphics or logos to your labels by inserting an image into the label template. This can enhance the appearance of your labels and provide branding.
