Preparing labels

I want to prepare a group of labels, using the Word tool.  But, the system is restricting me to one label at a time.  How can I prepare a group of labels, each one being somewhat different, at one time?

    It depends on what it is that you want to be different.

    If you want certain information on the label to be different from other labels, look into Mail Merge.

    Mail merge using an Excel spreadsheet - Word

     

    If you want a lot of differences, create a document based on the label format and modify the individual cells. Labels, in Word, are Tables, and all of the tools available for tables are available.

      I finally figured it out, but Microsoft certainly did not make it easy.  Thanks for your assistance.  Charles_Kenyon
