How to print mailing labels from excel sheet

Printing mailing labels from an Excel sheet is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Method 1: Using the "Mail Merge" feature in Excel

  1. Open your Excel sheet and select the range of cells that contains the mailing list information (e.g., names, addresses, etc.).
  2. Go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon and click on "From Text" or "From Other Sources" and then "From Microsoft Query".
  3. In the "Query Wizard", select "Mail Merge" and click "Finish".
  4. In the "Mail Merge" dialog box, select the "Labels" option and choose the label size and layout you want to use.
  5. Click "OK" to create the mail merge document.
  6. In the "Mail Merge" dialog box, select the "Print" option and choose the printer you want to use.
  7. Click "Print" to print the mailing labels.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-in or template

  1. Download and install a third-party add-in or template specifically designed for printing mailing labels from Excel, such as Avery Label Maker or Labeljoy.
  2. Follow the add-in's or template's instructions to set up the label layout and design.
  3. Select the range of cells that contains the mailing list information and apply the label design to the data.
  4. Print the labels using the add-in's or template's built-in printing feature.

Method 3: Using a VBA macro

  1. Open the Visual Basic Editor in Excel by pressing "Alt + F11" or by navigating to "Developer" tab and clicking on "Visual Basic".

  2. Create a new module by clicking "Insert" > "Module" and paste the following code:

    Sub PrintMailingLabels()
     Dim rng As Range
     Set rng = Range("A1:E10") ' adjust the range to your data
     Dim labelSize As String
     labelSize = "4x6" ' adjust the label size to your needs
     Dim printer As String
     printer = "Your Printer Name" ' adjust the printer name to your needs
    
     Dim i As Integer
     For i = 1 To rng.Rows.Count
         Dim labelText As String
         labelText = rng.Cells(i, 1).Value & vbCrLf & _
                     rng.Cells(i, 2).Value & vbCrLf & _
                     rng.Cells(i, 3).Value & vbCrLf & _
                     rng.Cells(i, 4).Value & vbCrLf & _
                     rng.Cells(i, 5).Value
         Dim label As Object
         Set label = CreateObject("Avery.LabelMaker")
         label.Text = labelText
         label.Size = labelSize
         label.Print printer
     Next i
    End Sub
  3. Adjust the code to match your data range, label size, and printer name.

  4. Save the module and close the Visual Basic Editor.

  5. Go back to your Excel sheet and click "Developer" tab > "Macros" and select the "PrintMailingLabels" macro to run it.

Remember to adjust the code and settings according to your specific needs and label design.
