How to Create Address Labels

By Bennett Gavrish

  • Overview

    With the Microsoft Word application, part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs, you can design and print your own address labels. In the word processing program, you simply select what type of label sheets you are printing on and then decide what text or images to add to your custom address labels. You can print out a whole sheet of identical labels or customize each one.

      Click on the label sheet icon in the lower-right corner of the window and find the type of label sheets you are printing on.

      Enter desired text or images into the main text box of the design window.

    • Step 7

      Connect your printer to your computer, and put a blank label sheet into the printer's paper tray. Turn your printer on.
