2. CREATING MAILING LABELS
FROM CATEGORIES
GETTING STARTED
These instructions are for generating mailing labels from the DESKTOP version of Outlook
and will not apply to the web based email.
1. Make sure you have your contacts entered as desired. You will have a choice as to
how to display the names – but make sure all contacts have consistent entries.
For example, is the spouse’s name entered under Spouse – or with the Full name such
as Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
2. Make sure the address you want to use is checked as the MAILING ADDRESS.
3. If you are selecting names from Categories, make sure everyone is in the right category.
These instructions are provided because many of the built in Wizards only apply to Contact
Folders. This process will allow you to select desired contacts from Outlook – and then
create labels for those – without having to separate them into Contact Folders.
