Printing Return Address Labels

Summary: How to print return address labels using Word. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

A common type of label that people create is a return address label. You can use Word to quickly print return address labels. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Choose Envelopes and Labels from the Tools menu. Word displays the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
  2. Make sure the Labels tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. If you need to change the type of labels on which you are printing, click on the Options button and use the Labels Options dialog box to select the proper label stock.
  4. In the Envelopes and Labels dialog box, make sure the Use Return Address check box is selected. Your return address should appear in the Address area of the dialog box.
  5. Print your labels as you normally do.

If your return address does not appear in step 4, then you may not have set it up in Word. You can set up your return address by following these steps:

  1. Choose Options from the Tools menu. Word displays the Options dialog box.
  2. Make sure the User Information tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. In the Mailing List area of the dialog box, make sure your correct mailing address appears.
  4. Click on OK.

Now you can go back and print return address labels, as described at the beginning of this tip.
