Allow Outlook to print mailing labels from contacts directly
Haven't you ever wanted to send a marketing/mailing piece to a few "selected"
contacts (either family or business)? A simple way to create a custom print layout for labels, or a template, would make the task simple and easy. Exporting selected contacts to another program just takes more time than it should. "Gordon" wrote: "kacee" wrote in message ...

Yes, mail merge works, it's just that being able to create a custom
print/template to save/use for printing "selected" contacts to labels would make the task so much quicker and easier than exporting out to Word or Excel.

You aren't paying attention. The feature you request has existed for every
version of Outlook. No exporting has ever been necessary. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "kacee" wrote in message ...

Then please direct me to where I can locate the info. I have tried and have
also searched the help section in every version of Outlook - not there that I can find. If you know more, then please share the info with those of us who are not "paying attention" "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You aren't paying attention.

Well documented in every Help file and on the Web. Look up "mail merge."

Allow Outlook to print mailing labels from contacts directly
Obviously you are the one who isn't paying attention.
I know how to use mail merge, the issue is printing labels directly from Outlook quick and easy - WITHOUT using another program. Maybe, if you aren't going to be helpful, you should keep your comments and opinions to yourself. If you don't work for Microsoft then you can't help and your attitude is merely condesending and annoying. The addition of a single template would solve the problem. This shouldn't be too tough for Microsoft to provide since the components are already included in Outlook. It would be a simple "fix" and should be added to the next upgrade.

As I replied - Outlook is a PIM, NOT a word processor. Why should Outlook duplicate the function of Word?
