address labels

[krazykianu]

I have typed all of my addresses for my wedding invites into word to be
return address labels. I was wondering if there was any way I could reformat
the information I have already typed to print straight onto my envelopes that
are 7x7. I can't find a way to make the labels that big so that it just
prints one on one envelope. Thank you,...

And set up your new merge as an Envelope merge (or Letter merge if Word
doesn't recognize your paper size as an envelope).

I"m not so good with this. I have it done all the way through to looking at
a table that has my addresses listed horizontally. I don't know how to save
this as a data source that I can use.

OK, so you have a document with that table in it. Click File > Save As, and
give it a name you can remember, like "WeddingAddresses.doc". You can close
that document.

The next part depends on what version of Word you have. The whole thing
changed in Word 2002. Here are a couple of articles for you to look at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/ExpressMailMerges.htm (for Word 2002 or
2003)
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateAMailMerge.htm (mostly for Word
2000 and earlier)

As Suzanne says in a parallel reply, when the merge wizard asks what kind of
output you want, tell it Envelopes.
