    Hello Odessa_Johnson. You can do a mail merge in MS Word 2016. I would recommend the following:

    1. Where are your names stored? If you haven't put them in a file yet, I suggest Excel (which you have).
    2. Save your Excel file and close it after putting in the names.
    3. Start Word.
    4. Click Mailings tab
    5. Click Start Mail Merge and select Labels.
    6. Select your Avery labels.
    7. Optional step - labels are set up in a table. I would go to Table Tools Layout and select View Gridlines.
    8. Click back on Mailing.
    9. Click Select Recipients. Use an existing list. Go find your Excel file.
    10. Use Insert Merge field and put in names.
    11. Click Update Labels.
    12. Preview results - optional but I recommend.
    13. Finish and Merge
    14. Edit individual.

    A lot of steps. I threw together a video for you. It is only 77 seconds long. No audio.
