Word offers its own function for creating address labels. This is particularly useful if envelopes do not have a viewing window and you do not want to write down the address by hand. We'll show you how it's done.
Instructions: Create labels and address stickers in Word
Basically, creating a label is relatively easy. However, you need to know the correct settings so that the format is correct in the end. Of course, we will also tell you the appropriate settings.
Step 1:
Go to the "Shipments" tab at the top of Word and click on "Labels" on the left.
Step 2:
A new window opens in which you first type in the address of the recipient. Alternatively, you can use the address book button to select a recipient from your Outlook contacts.
Step 3:
Click on the "Options" button below to choose the design for the label. If you want to print pre-made labels, you can select the manufacturer and model here. You can also choose your own style using the "New label" button. In this example we choose the standard formatting from the manufacturer "Avery Zeckform" with the number "3448". Then click the "OK" button.
Step 4:
Now choose whether you want a page full of labels ("One side of the same label") or if you only need "One label". If you click the "New Document" button, the label is transferred to Word.
Step 5:
If necessary, you can now change the size, font and color of the label. You can then print out the label using the key combination [Ctrl] + [P].
