How to Convert an Excel Sheet to Labels

An Excel mailing list can supply the names and addresses for your labels. Import the spreadsheet, connect its columns to your design, and review the sheet before printing.

The short version

In Fill labels, choose Spreadsheet, import your Excel file, and match the columns to label fields. Each row supplies a label’s information. Review the addresses and print using the layout for your label paper.

1. Organize your spreadsheet

Keep each recipient and their address on the same row, with clear headings for the information in each column. Choose a label design with room for the fields you need.

2. Import and match your columns

Choose Spreadsheet in Fill labels and import your Excel file. Select the worksheet you want to use, then match its columns to the corresponding label fields. Columns you do not need can be left unused.

Common questions

Should I use List or Spreadsheet?

Use List when you want to paste values into one field. Use Spreadsheet when each row contains several pieces of information that need to stay together, such as a recipient’s name and address. Match the columns to the fields in your design.
