How to Print Labels in Microsoft Word 2007

Printed labels can help you identify items since typeface can be easier to read than handwriting. Typed filing labels can make searching for specific files a quick process, while typed address and return labels can add a professional touch to your letters and mailings. Microsoft Word 2007 can be used to create custom labels in a variety of sizes.
