Last Updated: November 26, 2021

If you're shipping one single item, you don't necessarily need to print out a whole sheet of address labels—but how do you just print one label? Luckily, Microsoft Word makes it easy to print individual address labels, and our guide will show you how!

Steps

1
Click on "Mailings" tab and then select "Labels".

In the Address box, do one of the following:
- If you are creating mailing labels, enter or edit the address.
- If you want to use a return address, select the Use return address check box, and then edit the address.
- If you are creating another type of label, such as a book plate, type the text you want.

- To select the label type, and the type of paper feed, click Options.
- If the type of label you want to use is not listed in the Product number box, you might be able to use one of the listed labels, or you can click New Label to create your own custom labels.
