what program do i need to print labels-address lables, not all the same name?

Answer 1

the easiest and most widely found program for this would be Microsoft Word. you just need to go to tools and then envelopes and labels. you will find all the options you need under the labels tab.

Answer 2

Sounds like you need to learn merging -
merging a Word document with a Word table of names & addresses.

Here is a tutorial which will show you screen shots.

Here are my notes:
MailMerge Labels with Word and Excel

First, you need to setup the datafile – either a Word table or an Excel datafile. Be sure to use column headers – like name, or Firstname Lastname, address, city, state, zip

Now, open a new Word document.
click Tools
cl Mailmerge
cl Create
cl Mailing Labels
cl Active Window
cl Get Data
cl Open Data Source

Now you have to browse, find and name the datafile.
When you find it, double-click it to select.

cl o.k. to send to the entire spreadsheet
cl setup Main Document

In the Label Options window, on the left side, click the number of the label you have (like Avery 5160)

cl o.k.

In the Create Label window:
cl Insert Merge Field button
cl the field name you set for name (like Firstname or Name), then press Enter
cl the field name you set for the address, press Enter
cl the field name(s) for city, state, zip NO ENTER HERE
cl o.k.
cl Close

Now, to merge, on the Mailmerge toolbar, click the Merge button
on the top left, click to “new document”
on the top right, click the Merge button

Your names & addresses will be merged into a Word document which you can print or save for reuse.

Put your labels in the printer and print.

If you are a tad unsure of yourself, you can print them on plain paper to see if they line up, then print on labels.

Save the label file and datafile for reuse if you want.

Answer 3

Try looking at the templates page of your spreadsheet software. Or if the file is in a word document, try the templates there as well, but it will be more work as you'll have to enter (or copy and paste) each one.

Answer 4

Avery has a good label making piece of software.
