Step 2: Same address on one or more labels (2)
In the “Address” box, do one of these:

. - If you also want to specify a sender’s address, select the Include sender check box and edit the sender’s address as needed.
- If you are creating another type of label, such as a bookmark, type the text you want.
Step 3: Print
Then you can start printing the label:
In the “Print” box, do one of the following:
- To print a single address label, check A label at. Then type or select the row and column number of the label you want to print. This way you select which label of the label sheet the address will appear on.
- If you want to print the same data on every label in the label field, check Full page with the same label at. To customize a different label type, paper feed, and other options, click Options. Select the desired options and click OK.
- If your label type (found on the packaging of your labels) is not listed in the ‘Product number’ box, use one of the available labels. However, you can also click New click to create your own custom mailing labels.
To print the labels, load a sheet of labels into the printer and click Print. To save the label page for later editing or printing, click Save as.
Step 4: Several addresses on one sheet (1)
If you want to print different addresses on a label sheet, there are several options. This way you can easily create one page with a number of different labels that you type in yourself. This goes like this:
- Click on the tab Mailing Lists on labels.
- click on Options.
- Choose the printer type and supplier of the label sheets on which you want to print the labels. Under ‘Product number’, select the number that appears on the packaging of the label sheets and then click OK.
