We’ve had a few enquiries asking for the simplest way to set up labels using text from an Excel spreadsheet. Show Most people who are printing labels from Excel are trying to create address or product labels, with each row in the spreadsheet needing to be transferred onto one label. The easiest way to accomplish this is to create the labels using Microsoft Word’s “Mail Merge” function. The template for the labels will be created in Word, but the data used to populate the labels will be drawn directly from the Excel spreadsheet. This does tend to be slightly easier if you are using labels with a compatible template code, as these are built in to the Mail Merge function, but you can also use your own bespoke template to complete the mail merge.
