How do I make labels in Word 2000 using multiple
address's. I recently had to convert from Corel
Wordperfect to Word 2000 and am finding it does not have
nearly as many functions as Wordperfect. I have not been
able to type more than one label at a time. I have about
5 pages of mailing address's to enter into a new document
so that I can access the labels every month for our
monthly newsletter. When I go into the labels and
envleopes feature and click on "new document" it takes me
to a blank page, Is there a label template somewhere????
any help would be greatly apreciated!!!!
 
That is the label template. It is set up as a table. To see the label
boundaries, click on Table | Show Gridlines. But you would be much better
advised to set up your labels as a mail merge, which makes it easier to add
and delete labels and still print them in alpha or ZIP code order. See these
article for more information:
