Step 2

Check your box of labels for the label number. Microsoft Word has templates for all kinds of Avery labels, so if you have a choice, be sure to purchase that brand. If you do purchase a different brand of labels, look on the box for an Avery equivalent number. This is what you will use to set up the labels.
