  Answer
  The only thing that I have done is to put the data in Excel and then I
used Word to print the lables using my Excel spreadsheet as the source.

Within Word, you go to Tools.. Letters and Mailings..Envelopes and
Labels .. and follow the wizard from there.

As I remember, the only glitch here is that you need to have your data
on the first tab of the spreadsheet.

Hope this helps.

  Elements of the addresses go into separate columns with a title like

Name Address City State Zip

See these sites for help.

Note.........if you give your table a defined name you don't have to have the
worksheet first in the workbook.

  You can't really print labels in Excel, instead you use
Excel as the database and use MS Word for the label
printing since Word handles label forms.

  Hello
I suggest you keep Excel for your database and use Word for your labels as
it has a built-in function provided for printing labels.

  I can only see part of this thread but take a look at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm
for printing labels with MS Word, with Excel as the data base.

Excel not very well suited to printing labels.

  Do you have Word?

Use Word's mailmerge...........labels and envelopes.

Assuming you are using Word for the mailmerge and Excel for the source see
these sites for help on setting up your data input in Excel and how to merge
to Word

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateAMailMerge.htm

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateADataSource.htm

Make sure you have a few sheets of sticky labels available for printing.
