The holiday season prompts the need to send a number of standard mail cards and packages. For most people it is the only time of year where bulk mailing happens.

When you need to send bulk mail, it is valuable to be able to at least print the address labels.

Straight forward table method

At a recent Monday evening we covered a straight forward way of creating a address label page - by creating a grid of 2 x 7 and then to type the addresses into each grid section…

<First name> <Last name> <Address one> <Adress two> <city> <County> <Post code>	<First name> <Last name> <Address one> <Adress two> <city> <County> <Post code>
<First name> <Last name> <Address one> <Adress two> <city> <County> <Post code>	<First name> <Last name> <Address one> <Adress two> <city> <County> <Post code>

There are useful webpages to show you how to do this in word.

Mail Merge method

The alternate, more complicated but extensible way of achieving this address labeling is to use the MS Mail Merge approach. Microsoft have a very good set of pages to describe the mail merge process.
