Mail merge outlook to address labels

A classic task!

To perform a mail merge from Outlook to address labels, you'll need to use a combination of Outlook's built-in features and a third-party add-in or a workaround. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using Outlook's built-in feature (Outlook 2010 and later)

  1. Open Outlook and create a new email message.
  2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon.
  3. Click on "Text" and then "Merge Fields" to insert a merge field.
  4. Select the field you want to merge (e.g., "First Name", "Last Name", etc.).
  5. Repeat step 4 for each field you want to merge.
  6. Click on the "File" tab and select "Print" to print the email message.
  7. In the "Print" dialog box, select "Labels" as the printer and choose the label size and orientation.
  8. Click "Print" to print the labels.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-in (Outlook 2007 and later)

  1. Install a third-party add-in like "Label Merge" or "Address Label Maker" from the Microsoft Office Store.
  2. Follow the add-in's instructions to create a new label merge document.
  3. Select the Outlook contacts you want to merge and click "Merge" to create the labels.

Method 3: Using a workaround (Outlook 2003 and earlier)

  1. Export your Outlook contacts to a CSV file using the "File" > "Import and Export" feature.
  2. Open a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel and import the CSV file.
  3. Use the spreadsheet program's mail merge feature to create a label document.
  4. Print the label document using the spreadsheet program's print feature.

In all cases, make sure you have the correct label size and orientation set in Outlook or the add-in you're using.
