Try Microsoft Edge A fast and secure browser that's designed for Windows 10 No. Create and print a single envelope. And then click the Microsoft Office. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the most basic functions in Microsoft Word is printing envelopes and labels. You’d think that such a basic function would be pretty intuitive. One of the most frequent questions I get from longtime WordPerfect users is, “Where on earth are the envelopes (or labels) in Word?” But even for those who worked in Microsoft Word for years, this feature can be a little hard to find. Some of the problem stems from Microsoft’s habit of moving this feature around between versions of Word. (I think I even remember it being under the Format menu in one long-ago version. It’s moved twice since then!) So we’re going to look at the process in both the Ribbon-based version and the “classic” menu-based versions. Along the way, I’m going to show you not only the “textbook” way of doing envelopes, but my own preferred method, which I think makes creating an on-the-fly envelope (on pre-printed letterhead) a lot easier (but that’s for you to judge). Let’s start with the Ribbon versions, 2007/2010, and then deal with the differences in the menu-based versions 2003 and earlier. Navigate This Article • • • • • • • Word 2007/2010 Fortunately, in the two most recent, Ribbon-based versions of Microsoft Word, the envelopes and labels feature can be found in the same place: the Mailings tab. Over on the far left are Envelopes and Labels. Let’s start by clicking Envelopes: You’ll notice immediately that the dialog box you get is actually for both Envelopes and Labels. Depending on whether you clicked on Envelopes or Labels on the Mailings tab, the correct tab on this dialog box will be selected by default. However, you can always click on the other tab if you’ve changed your mind. But what you want to know right now is how address an envelope. By default, you could simply type something in the Delivery address field, put your return address in the indicated field (if it’s not there already, which it would be if you’d saved it there, in which case, you may not even need this tutorial), and hit the Print button. And most of the time, that’ll work just fine. Note: As Todd notes below in the comments (and as I’ve verified on my own computer), Word will actually insert the address for you if you have your cursor right before the address. Is there a way to *insert* a label at a certain cell on a page of, say, 30 labels of addresses already filled in?
