Lesson 6 | Creating lists, mailing labels, and form letters 40
Choose the fields that will appear on the labels
1. Double-click First Name in the list.
<<First Name>> appears in the Label Contents area. Angle brackets around the field name
indicate this is a merge field and data (in this case the first name stored in the record) will
appear on labels rather than the placeholder text “First Name.” The insertion point in the Label
Contents text box flashes.
2. After <<First Name>>, type a space.
3. Double-click Last Name in the list.
4. After <<Last Name>>, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
This moves the insertion point to the next line.
5. Double-click Home Address 1 in the list, then press Enter or Return.
6. Double-click Home Address 2 in the list, then press Enter or Return.
7. Double-click City in the list.
8. Type a comma, then a space.
9. Double-click Country in the list.
Your label contents should look like this:
10. Click Next.
11. Select View in Preview mode, then click Finish.
You see a page of labels as it will print in Preview mode.
Notice that not all records have the same number of lines of text. Records with four-line
addresses display all lines. In records needing only three lines, the extra line is automatically
omitted so there is no blank line in the labels.
