Free label templates for Word

Download a Word template for your sheet. Each table cell sits exactly on one label, so you can type in the cells or use Word’s mail merge.

How to use a Word label template

  1. Download the template for the number on your label pack and open it in Word.
  2. Turn on View Gridlines (Table Layout → View Gridlines) to see where each label is.
  3. Type into the cells, or use Mailings → Select Recipients to merge a spreadsheet.
  4. Print at 100% on Letter paper. Word may warn that margins are outside the printable area; choose Ignore.

When Word is the right tool

Word is worth it when each label is different in layout rather than just in text: mixed fonts, a logo, a line of bold and a line of italic. The downloads here are plain borderless tables, one cell per label, so Word puts your text in the right place without you setting margins.

For a plain list of addresses, filling the labels here and downloading a PDF is faster: no mail merge, no field codes, and duplicates and ZIP codes are cleaned up on the way.

Free label templates for Word — questions

Word says the margins are outside the printable area. Is that a problem?

No. Label sheets use the full width of the page, closer to the edge than Word expects for a document. Choose Ignore. The label positions are correct.

Why can I not see where the labels are in the Word file?

The table has no borders, because a border would print on the label. Turn on Table Layout, then View Gridlines to see the cell outlines on screen without printing them.

Can I mail merge a spreadsheet into these templates?

Yes. Open the template, go to Mailings, Select Recipients, and pick your file. Insert the fields into the first cell and use Update Labels to copy them across the sheet.
