Microsoft Access: How to export addresses directly to Word, in the format of labels?

We're getting ready to send out wedding invitations, and I know there's got to be a way to do this in Microsoft Office. What I want to do is to enter the names, addresses, etc., of the people we're going to invite into Access (or another approporate program, such as Excel or Word), and then export and compile all that information into Word, formatted as labels. How can this be done? If anyone could give me some step-by-step instructions, or even general instructions, I would greatly appreciate it!

What you want is "mail merge". For this you need your addresses in either a Word table or an Excel spreadsheet (I would think you will need a separate field/box for each piece of address info). You can then "print envelopes" .Look in HELP to find out how to "mail merge" and print envelopes and the layout required in your name database.
