- Apr 03, 2015 Microsoft has been readying its latest update to Office for Mac, and recently released its first preview. We decided to give it a whirl and wanted uninstall Office 2011 to avoid any conflicts. Much to our surprise, uninstalling Office 2011 for Mac is a terribly complicated affair.
In Office 2011 for Mac, you can create a blank Word document that will contain a set of identical labels for a mail merge in less than three minutes! Follow these steps and substitute your own paper size and the number of labels you want to fit on a sheet:
- In Word, choose Tools→Labels from the menu bar.
- Enter an address and selection options in the Labels dialog.Here’s what you do:
- In the Address field in the upper left, type the name and address you want placed on each label.If you like, you can use an address from your Outlook contacts by clicking the small contacts icon to the right of the Address block to open a Contacts dialog that lets you pick a contact from your Outlook Address Book.You could also select the Use My Address check box to use your Me contact address in your Outlook Address Book.
- Click the Font button to open Word’s Font dialog to customize text formatting.
- Choose a label size from the Label Products pop-up menu.Hundreds of different sizes and preset labels from more than 14 different manufacturers are available.
- Click the New Label button to open the New Custom [laser or dot matrix] dialog, which allows you to create a completely customized label from scratch.
- Click the Options button to bring up the Label Options dialog.
- Select the product from the Label Products pop-up menu, select the label number from the Product Number list, and then click OK.Really, 99 percent of the time, all you have to do is just look on the box of labels you have and select the brand and product number from the Label Products pop-up menu.
- Click OK to close the Labels dialog.
Oct 07, 2015 Before you install the Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update, make sure that you have Office for Mac 2011 14.1.0 or a later version installed on your computer. Also, make sure that the computer is running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or a later version of the Mac OS X operating system.
It’s that easy. Pretty cool, huh?
When printing labels, try printing on a sheet of plain paper first. Hold your test sheet up to the light with a sheet of blank labels behind it to see how everything lines up. You can adjust the margins by dragging them in the ruler, or click the Customize button in the Labels dialog to fine-tune everything so your labels line up perfectly.

Making a table of words and phrases to index
Word is pretty smart, but you need to tell Word the words or phrases to use in the index, and which index headings to make. You tell Word the words or phrases to be used in the index by creating a concordance file. Follow these steps to create a concordance table:

- In Word, choose File→New Blank Document.
- From the menu, choose Table→Insert→Table.
- In the Insert Table dialog, set Number of Columns to 2.
- Click OK to close the Insert Table dialog.
- Fill in the cells:Left column:Put all the words from your document that should be marked for indexing into the left column, one word or phrase per cell.Right column: Enter the appropriate document index heading corresponding to each word in the left column.Don’t use column headings: Nothing else can be in the concordance file except your two-column table.
- Choose File→Save to save the table as a Word document and then choose File→Close to close the concordance table document.
Marking the words or phrases to use in the index
After you save your concordance file, you can use it to create an index from a long document. Follow these steps to use a concordance file:
- In Word, choose File→Open.
