Mailing labels
Hi, I'm trying to create mailing labels in Core with create Mail Merge but having a hard time figuring out how to set it up.
Would anyone be able to share your set up on how you create a mail merge for mailing labels? In particular looking to be able to do it by separate grades/school level, but any template setup for a label would be appreciated to see how it looks like.
Thank you!
Edit - I was able to successfully create a mailing list, but it's not listing the greeting:
“To the parents/guardians of:”
I click on Mailing Labels and it creates a pdf or word doc of the labels, and lists everything but not the text.

Template set up (maybe it's a different setting or something else?)

I'd like to hear the solution to this, as well! It would be helpful to be able to have an easy way to run Back to School rosters/mailing labels. Thanks!0 -
@Nathan Ong & @Heidi Offel if you want both the mail labels and the mail merge letter, then you have to go all the way through the Add mail merge job function to create the batch of letters and create the list of recipients. Once the letter and list are created, then you'll be able to run the Mail labels for the recipients upon Save. The screenshot in Nathan's post is strictly for the letter/template; next you'll go to the Mail merge tab and click Add to create the job.
If you need the mail labels only, then going straight to an Advanced list (Reporting>Manage Lists>Manage basic and advanced lists) will be faster since you can skip the letter template and Add job function. For any Advanced list you own, you can run Mail labels. Mail labels are entirely based on the list setup - the more specific you are with address filters (like by selecting specific address types), the better.
