Using Outlook 2002 contact to print labels.

[J-man]

I am trying to make labels, model 5630, using Microsoft
Office XP(2002) software. I have a contact list from
Outlook, and I am trying to use Microsoft Word to print
out labels using the list. After following the
instructions that were given me by the Microsoft helper,
I get to the point where the product name or code is
asked. I don't see my product here. After looking at
the sheet that came with my labels, my label code (5630)
wasn't there. After this, I figured let me just create
custom labels with the appropriate dimensions (1 by 2
3/4) and go on from there. Keep in mind that I am doing
a Mail Merge. At this point, I see the format for the
labels on the page(30 labels per sheet). I am planning
to mail about 350 labels. After this, I go to select
Mail recipients. I choose "select outlook contacts" and
I choose my contact folder. I check off the contacts
that I want to be placed on the labels, and after
clicking OK, the first label(top left corner) is blank,
while the other 29 labels have "next record" on them. I
figured that I should try something else, and that is
when I downloaded the avery wizard. After starting it up
from Microsoft Word, I choose the label product(5630),
and click next. This is the step that I am not sure
about. What am I suppose to do when I am trying to
import or use the Outlook contact list? Or is there
another step that I should have done before this that
would have solved the problem?

Did you complete the whole Mail Merge wizard before giving up? Those "Next
Record" items in the Word document are just placeholders where the actual
text will go. If you display the Mail Merge toolbar and click the View
Merged Data button, you should see what will actually appear on the labels
when you're finished.
