The most important part of creating labels is having your database of addresses or address book complete and accurate. After that, the next most important aspect to label making is learning to layout the labels.

Although many programs can create and print labels, most require you to learn a great deal about mail merge, formatting and other techniques to be successful.

In today's meeting, the free program (available below) called Greeting List Plus was demonstrated. 

The Greeting List program allows you to create multiple address books with ease, print labels without any formatting knowledge, add pictures to your labels, search for other criteria such as birthdays and much, much more.

If you still want to use Microsoft Word or another program for labels, here is a good tutorial from CNET:
