People want to add an image to an address label, either as a way of creating a funding sticker for envelopes, name badges for delegates, quick business cards or, in my case I use to create labels for honey jars.
To create labels in word is straightforward, and to add an image all we do is add a field code. A field code is a place holder for data in Microsoft Word and is held within {} braces.

  1. To start with you will need an image of the correct size for your label (Word will not resize the image for you)
  2. samplesampleFor my requirement I have created an Image in PowerPoint including the text - this allows me to have the text to the right of the image.
  3. Select the Tools menu, letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels.
  4. Choose the Labels tab.
  5. Click the Options button and select your mailing label size.
  6. Place your cursor in the label box and Press Ctrl F9. This will insert field braces { } into the text box which will surround your file path.
  7. Type INCLUDEPICTURE then press the spacebar followed by the location of your graphic file in quotes. You must use double slashes to separate folders. For example:
  8. {INCLUDEPICTURE "D:\\my documents\\my pictures\\misc\\sample.png"}
  9. If you have added the text to your image (standard text for every label) then you have move move to step 10
  • If you want to add text from a mail merge e.g. addresses from a mailing list then move your cursor past the end brace } press the Enter key to move to the next line. This places the addresses below the graphic.
  • Type your address as normal. The address will appear under the graphic.

10. Click the New Document button. A label page appears with just the address portion showing. Your graphic will not display unless you show field codes.

11. Select all of your document by pressing Ctrl A then Press F9. Your images should display.

12. If you plan on printing these labels on a regular basis, you should save the document.
