Creating Labels or Envelopes

You can create labels or envelopes when you create a letter (see Creating a Letter), or you can create labels or envelopes separately for a different selection of contacts, as described below.

To create labels/envelopes separately from creating a letter:

1.   Click Letters & Labels in the top navigation bar.

The Your Letters & Labels screen appears, showing three tabs: a Select Letter Template tab that lists saved letter templates, a Create New Letter tab that lets you create letters and letter templates, and a Create Labels/Envelopes tab that lets you create labels or envelopes.

2.   Click Create Labels/Envelopes.

3.   On the Create Labels/Envelopes tab, select the appropriate label or envelope format. If you are using a partially used label sheet, you can select the row and column to start printing at, so that you do not waste labels.

Note: The envelope choices are optimized for number 10 envelopes and should work with most modern printers, whether left, right or center justified.

Note: When printing envelopes you have the option to print your return address in the top left corner of each envelope.

4.   Click Select Contacts to choose the contacts you want to create labels for (see Selecting Contacts or List View).

Note: If you only want to include contacts whose preferred method of correspondence is Letters, click the check box at the top of the search screen.

5.   Make sure you have the sufficient label sheets in your printer and click Print Mail Merged Labels.

Note: If your jurisdiction requires you to include ‘Or Current Resident’ below the name on each label or envelope, be sure to select the check box below Select Contacts before printing.
