Introduction
Creating and printing labels in Word is a common office task that saves time when you need multiple identical stickers. This guide shows how to set up label dimensions, enter and format text, and print a full page of the same label, plus tips for one-off labels and Word for the web. The steps below assume you have Microsoft Word on a desktop (Windows or Mac).

Quick checklist (what you’ll need)

• A computer with Microsoft Word (desktop version)
• A label sheet (brand and product number) or the exact label dimensions for a custom sheet
• A printer compatible with your label sheets

Step-by-step: Create and print a full page of identical labels (desktop Word)

1. Open the Labels dialog

• In Word, go to the Mailings tab and click Labels.

2. Choose label options

• Click Options.
• Set Label vendor and select the Product number that matches your label sheets.
• If your product number is not listed, click New Label and enter the exact dimensions (page size, label height/width, number across, number down, margins, and pitch). Save the custom label. Label options dialog

3. Enter the label content

• In the Labels dialog, type the address, name, or other text into the Address box (text only).
• To use contact information already stored in your contacts, choose Insert Address. Envelope and labels dialog – labels

4. Format the label text

• Select the text inside the Address box, right-click, and choose Font or Paragraph to change size, style, or alignment.
• Make sure font size and alignment fit the label dimensions to avoid clipping.

5. Specify printing a full page of the same label

• In the Labels dialog, select Full page of the same label.
• Click Print to send the labels to the printer immediately, or click New Document to create a Word document containing a full sheet of the identical label that you can edit, save, or preview before printing.

Printing one label or a single position

• If you need only one label on a sheet, open Mailings > Labels, choose Single label, then set the row and column position for the label on the sheet.
• Click OK, choose your printer or Save, and then print the single label.

Alternative: Use Word for the web (template method)

• Word for the web does not directly support the Labels dialog; instead:
  • Open Word for the web and choose a label template (select More templates if needed).
  • Fill out one label on the template, then copy and paste it across the sheet for a full page of identical labels.
• Tip: Print the template onto plain paper first to check alignment before loading label sheets into your printer.

Tips for accurate printing

• Always perform a test print on plain paper to confirm alignment with your label sheet.
• Verify printer tray settings and paper type to avoid jams or misfeeds.
• If labels contain graphics, ensure image resolution is high enough and embedded correctly.

When to use mail merge (multiple different labels)

• If you need many different labels (addresses from a list), use Mailings > Start Mail Merge > Labels, then use the mail merge tools to populate each label from a data source (Excel, Outlook contacts, etc.). For detailed mail merge workflows, consult Word’s mail merge documentation or help resources.

Conclusion

Following these steps lets you reliably create and print a full page of identical labels in Word or produce a single label in a specific position. For Word for the web, use templates and copy/paste. Test print on plain paper first to ensure alignment. Try it now: set your label product number, format the text, and print a full page of consistent labels.
