How to print labels for mailing list from Excel?

Author Xiaoyang Last modified

Normally, we can organize a mailing list in Excel quickly and easily, but it’s not so convenient when it comes to printing the labels. Each row in the worksheet must be transferred to one label, as shown in the screenshots below. In this case, the Mail Merge feature in Word document can help you to create labels from Excel, which you can then print or save as needed.

Create and print labels in Word from an Excel worksheet with Mail Merge feature

1. Prepare the data information of your printing mailing labels, such as First name, Last name, Address, City, State, Zip Code as below screenshot shown:

2. Save and close the workbook, then launch a Word document, and click Mailings > Start Mail Merge > Labels, see screenshot:

3. In the opened Label Options dialog box, set the Label information and Product number as you need:

  • Label information: Choose supplier of label sheets;
  • Product number: Select product number listed on the package of label sheets.
  • (In this example, I will choose Microsoft and 1/4 Letter separately.)

Tips: This option will select all your columns and create address for you automatically. If some columns are missing, please click Match Fields button to choose the corresponding filed you need.

10. Go ahead and click the OK button, and the《AddressBlock》will appear in your first label. Then, click Update Labels from the Mailings tab, see screenshot:

12. And the Merge to New Document dialog box will appear. Select All from the Merge records, and then click the OK button. See screenshot:

13. Now, the mailing list from Excel will be merged into the labels in a new Word file as below screenshot shown:

14. At last, you can change the formatting of the label, such as the border, font color, font size, etc. to your need for printing.

Tips: You can save the Word document that contains the label fields for feature use. The saved Word document is linked to the Excel workbook. After changing the mailing list data in Excel, the next time you open the Word document, a prompt message will pop out, click Yes to update the labels. Then repeat the step 11 and 12 above to generate a new mail merged document.
