I recently wrestled with Word to produce shipping labels for a Kickstarter project’s rewards, and every step was painful, despite its built-in templates for Avery labels. Microsoft Word has always had mail merge, but it’s far more complicated than the last time I used it. It’s commonly used to generate form letters, address labels, and name tags. A concept dating back at least four decades, mail merge lets you insert placeholders in a template document that are replaced with entries in a column of data in a spreadsheet or similar tabular format.

What do YOU use for envelopes and labels? Address Labels looks like a decent app, but I'd love to hear from others about which label apps you love or hate.

Spending time searching, there are a lot of nice apps out there, but Unfortunately, it was a 32 bit app, and the software company did not want to continue development on the app. you choose your name, you choose where on the label sheet you want to print on and go - one address printed on one label. It allowed you to print ONE label if you wanted to.

It pulled addresses and groups from the Mac address book I used to use the amazing app called, strangely enough, 'Labels and Addresses'.
