I can’t find any instructions for this or any options for labels in the Mail merge wizard. So I have to resort to my old Microsoft Word software whenever I want to prepare labels from a database of addresses.
Check this…
Don’t use the Mail merge wizard. Go to File>New>Labels.

I’m resubmitting this without any screenshots and hope that you can help.
Thank you.

The whole process of designing and printing labels is a bit involved for a answer on this forum. I suggest reading Chapter 14 of the LibreOffice Community Writer Guide. If you haven’t already downloaded the guide, go to https://www.libreoffice.org/. Click on Get Help and choose Documentation.
Then, if you run into any problems trying to follow the instructions, return to this forum with a more specific question.
Belated thanks for your reply. I have downloaded the guide and will read chapter 14 through completely. I will get back to you with any queries or problems I encounter with the instructions.
Many thanks for your help and responses to my questions; much appreciated.

What is your data source where you typed in the addresses to be printed on the label sheets? This may be a spreadsheet, a text file, a wide variety of different databases or even a text table in LibreOffice Writer.
Thank you. My data source is the database I created some years ago using Mailmerge in Microsoft Word 2007 but I couldn’t see any way of navigating to it in Writer’s system. As a previous reply suggested, I need to read the relevant chapter from the beginning before attempting to do mailmerge for address labels. I’ll be able to do so after Christmas.
I have no idea how and where MS Word saves address data. However, I’m pretty sure that Word can export these data to some text or spreadsheet or something else.
P.S. According to Data sources you can use for a mail merge - Microsoft Support Word gets these data from spreadsheets, Access databases, other databases or Outlook.
