Printing Mailing Address Labels

[Guest]

How do you print mailing labels from the Contacts list? Each contact has a home and business mailing address in the data base. How do you get them out to print?

Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters,
mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look here:

Start the merge in Outlook. In the contacts folder, use Tools | Mail Merge.

I have not used outlook much and have just put a list of names with a

contact catagory and want to print mailing labels to the list of contacts.
I cannot figure this out even with the word mail merge as I can't find the
document in Outlook with looking for data source. Please advise

Mail merge is the only native tool for printing labels. There are probably
some third party add-ins that can do it, however. Look and see:
