Post subject: Typing a page of address labels - each one different - possible? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>newusers (more info?)
I understand that it's possible to type a page of address labels. What I
don't know is whether I can type a page of labels with each address different
- is that possible? If so - how does one do it?

In the Labels dialog, click New Document. This will give you a sheet of
labels. They are set up as a table, so make sure you have table gridlines
displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you can see the label boundaries.

Just a thought - If you expect to add to the records or need to be able to
sort them & select based on criteria for different purposes in the future
why not type the records as a Data document in a regular Word table or
Excel? You can then use Word's Mail Merge to generate labels whenever
necessary. Before you start typing you may want to take a look in Word Help
pertaining to the Mail Merge features & creating a Data Source. This is
specific to Word 2007 but the concept is the same for earlier versions:
