In
last issue, we made some address lists. In this issue, we will print out address labels from our lists.This is great for Christmas cards. Just make list, print out labels and stick them to envelopes.
You will save time printing out your labels, plus you can create a wide variety of designs, text styles and sizes. Why not add your own image or logo for your business?
You will need some sheets of sticky labels.
Go to start-programs-Microsoft Works. In Works Task Launcher, click on tab that says Works Tools, then click on Word Processor. A new document will appear.
Notice: You can also use Microsoft Word to print labels. Just go to start-programs-Microsoft Word. Go to Tools menu and click on Mail Merge. There will be a Mail Merge Helper. Follow directions.
In Microsoft Works, go to Tools menu and click on Labels. Click on To Create Labels button. A page with Instructions will appear. There is also a tab called Label Size. Click on this tab. Look on package that your labels came in. It will tell you size. Choose that size from list. Click on that size and click Next.
Note: If your label size isn't listed, click on custom button and type in dimensions.
Click on Database tab. Click on one of address lists we create in last issue and click Next.
Now click on Recipients tab. If you want to print a label for everyone on list, be sure All records in database is checked. If you want to print labels for just certain people from list, click Currently marked records in database. Click on View Database. Go through your list and place a check mark beside each name you want to print a label for. If you click wrong name, click it again to remove check mark.
Click on Label Layout tab, then choose field you want to appear first on label. When you click on field to appear first,, then click Add Field button. There will be a screen right under fields, called Label Layout. The field you added will appear there. Repeat for other fields. Click Next. Ex: Click on Title-Add Field. Choose whether you want first or last name to appear first. It will look like this: {{Title}} {{First name}} {{Last name}} or {{Title}} {{Last name}} {{First name}} Then click New Line. We will put in address, so it would look like this: {{Address 1}} {{City}} {{Postal code}}
