Mail merge labels are a great way to quickly and easily print labels for a large number of recipients. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create mail merge labels in Microsoft Word:

Prerequisites:

• Microsoft Word 2010 or later
• A list of recipients with their corresponding addresses and other information (e.g. names, phone numbers, etc.)

Step 1: Create a new document

• Open Microsoft Word and create a new document.
• Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.

Step 2: Set up the mail merge

• Click on "Select Recipients" and choose "Use an existing list" or "Create a new list".
• If you choose "Use an existing list", select the list of recipients you want to use.
• If you choose "Create a new list", enter the recipients' information in the "Recipient List" dialog box.

Step 3: Design the label layout

• Click on "Label Options" and select the type of label you want to use (e.g. Avery 5160, etc.).
• Adjust the label layout as needed by dragging the borders of the label to resize it.

Step 4: Add the merge fields

• Click on "Insert Merge Field" and select the fields you want to include on the label (e.g. name, address, phone number, etc.).
• Drag and drop the merge fields onto the label layout to position them as desired.

Step 5: Preview and print the labels

• Click on "Preview Results" to see how the labels will look with the merge fields filled in.
• Make any necessary adjustments to the label layout or merge fields.
