Microsoft MS Word label instructions.
Following is a tutorial on how to make labels using Microsoft Word.
A) Creating your labels:
- Start Microsoft Word.
- Click the New Document button.
- From the Tools menu, select Envelopes and Labels.
- Select the Labels tab, click Options, select the type of labels you want
to create and then click OK.
- You will need to select the Avery ® template located on the product page
of the item that you are using (i.e. WL-OL875 ® is the same layout as
Avery 5160 ®).
For more cross references, please see our
"Avery Cross reference
chart". If there is not an Avery ® template available for
the configuration that you have purchased you will have to setup
a custom template (Click on options and scroll down to other/custom
for directions on setting up a custom template).
- Click New Document.
B) Type and format the content of your labels.
- Turn on table gridlines (borders)
so that you can see the outline of your labels: from the Table menu, choose
Show Gridlines.
- If you’re creating a page of labels that will all look the same, type and
format one label, then use copy and paste to create the rest of the labels
(see step 5 for details on copy and paste).
C) Insert photos into your labels:
Scan your photos.
OR
Use photos that you have saved on your computer’s hard drive.
D) Resize or move each image as needed so that it fits in the label.
E) If you want to duplicate information (text and/or photos) in every label, copy and paste the information into each label:
- Select the text and/or photos
you want to duplicate.
- From the Edit menu, select Copy.
- Place your cursor in a label where you want to place the information.
- From the Edit menu, select Paste.
F) Save your labels:
- From the File menu, select Save.
- In the Save As window, locate and open the folder where you want to save
the labels.
- Type a name for your labels, then click Save.
G) If you want to preview your labels:
From the File menu, select Print
Preview.
OR
Click the Print Preview button.
When you are done previewing, click Close to close the preview window.
Click on File and press on Print.
