Making Use of Extra Labels

I love this tip. I will use it to create return labels with our school/business address. While I agree with the other comments on how to use individual labels, my experience is that running the label sheet through the printer too often causes the print label sheet to get quite "dingy" over time. This tip allows me to create return labels that are pristine.

I have a much better use for left-over labels. In Word 2016 just click on Mailings, Create, then Labels. Type in the label box your desired information, Choose label type (Avery #) or pick the one you need under Options. Under Number os Labels, select single label, then row & column (this determines which left-over label position you want to use.) Then Print.
It would be nice if Microsoft provided a way to print more than one label using this method, but if you need to print several additional labels, you will have to run the sheet through several times, just remember to change the row and column information each time.

This is what I do with "extra" labels. I have set up a "label" document. When I just want to 1, 2 or 3 labels, I insert the addresses on the label document where the left over blank labels on the previously used label sheet are. I then run the previously used label sheet through the printer, printing address on the label sheet where the "extra" labels are. You can continue doing this until the extra labels are used up. I never waste labels.

You could also keep that sheet of spare labels and print individual labels on it but doing the following:
1. Click the mailing tab
2. Click labels.
3. enter the individual address you need printed
4. Assuming you have selected the type of labels you are using, in the Print box, select single label.
5. Select the Row and Column for a blank label you wan to print on
6. press print.
That will use up the next available label. Be sure to save the sheet for the next individual label you need and follow these steps again with the next label location selected. Works for me!
