I have a list of about 100 family names that I need to put down on some labels for holiday cards. I know there is an easy way to have them placed on all the labels for me but I don't know how.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-BM

name, address, city, state, country, zip and phone

in MS word do file / new in the pop up there should be a mail merge tab, there should be a wizard to walk you through it too....

thats for word 2000 and XP that i know of for sure

Ps. in the spreadsheet, you need to have each of those items of data in a seperate column with only a single line header with the "name, address.." so on

edit again, what lables will you be printing on? if they are avery brand you can download templates for all their lables online.
