How do I set up return address labels for different addressees? .

[Guest]

I want to set up address labels with a number of different addresses using
Word. The program defaults are either one label (at a specified position on
the label page) or a whole page of the same label. How can I format a
document to create a whole page of different labels (e.g., with Avery 5260)?

Set up an Excel spread sheet with the names and addresses.
Open Word and do a mail merge specifying labels (Avery 5260).

Mail merge (as Chuck suggests) is appropriate if you want more than one
sheet of labels. If you need just one sheet, click the New Document button
in the Labels dialog to get a sheet of labels that you can type on. They're
set up as a table, so make sure you have table gridlines displayed (Table |
Show Gridlines) so you can see the label boundaries.
