Help please Im new to mailing list spreadsheets and labels

Need help My mac has both “contacts” app and “Libre Office” with spreadsheet and database and other stuff.
Please tell me where do I manually input 500 clients names, address etc (no none of it is in any kind of digital form anywhere all info was hand written addresses from a convention it all needs to be put in manually ). I need to create a mailing list that can be sent to a mail house in the form they want so they can print the names and addresses on advertising postcards etc. They want it to be in excel I dont’ have excel I have a mac with Libre Office and a contacts book. Help please :slight_smile:

Good job for LibreOffice Calc (except for having to manually type in all that info :slight_smile:
Open a new spreadsheet, use the first row to set up the various address field columns - such as first name, last name, address, city, state, zip code. You can make these columns as wide as needed to see the information being input. Then just have a great time typing in all the info. (Don’t forget to save your work on a regular basis.)

To save the file as something a mailing service might want - you said Excel - do a “save as” and select “Microsoft Excel 97-2003 (.xls)” or “Microsoft Excel 2007-2013 XML (.xlsx)”. (The LibreOffice default is ODS Spreadsheet (.ods)).
Some services may want a “comma delimited” file that is also available in the Save As dialog as Text CSV.

You could also do a mailing label print yourself using a LibreOffice label template and the mail merge capability.

Good Luck.
