Need help printing shipping labels

If you do what Suzanne advised, after printing the part sheet of labels, it would be a good idea to save the document so that the next time that you want to print some labels, you can open it and see which labels on the sheet have already been used.

If using a Laser printer however, it is not good practice to feed label sheets through the printer multiple times as the adhesive can be affected by the heat and on a subsequent use, a label may become detached from the sheet and wrap itself around one of the rollers in the printer.

This is the conventional advice and certainly worth considering, especially for high-heat laser printers. I think there may be less risk with current laser printer models, which use a lower fusing heat. FWIW, I cut sheets of six shipping labels in two and print individual labels, running the strips through three times in all. I've never had a problem with a label coming off; what I do notice is that the second and third labels may be a little grey from stray toner deposits. Still, short of using individual shipping labels (which have their own drawbacks), this is the best I can do.

In a much earlier version of Word, I could highlight the name and address of the person I was preparing a label for, open Tools, select label then choose which pre-printed shipping label I wanted to use.

If I understand your solution correctly, I can't do this in Word 2013 and I have to create a new document every time I want to print a label for a different client.  Is this correct?

That facility still exists in Word 2013
