- Click on "Labels": In the "Start Mailings" group, click on the "Labels" button.
- Choose your label settings: In the "Label Options" dialog box, select the following:
- Label vendor: Choose "Avery" or "Other" if you have a different label vendor.
- Label size: Select the label size you want to use (e.g., 4x6 inches).
- Label layout: Choose the layout you prefer (e.g., Address, Return Address, or Custom).
- Set up your label fields: In the "Label Fields" section, select the columns you want to use for your mailing labels. For example:
- First Name: Select the column with the first names.

- If you have a large number of labels to print, you can use the "Batch Print" feature in the "Mailings" tab to print multiple labels at once.
- You can also use third-party add-ins or templates to create custom mailing labels in Excel.
