To create a Mail Merge for homeowner mailing labels in Microsoft Word:
Note: Homeowner mailing labels have a limit of approximately 40 characters.
- Navigate to Homeowner > Homeowner List.
- Use the column settings to display the available columns that you would like. For Mailing Labels, we recommend the following columns:
- Homeowner
- Mailing Address
- Mailing City, State, Zip
- Search or filter for the owners that you want.
- Click Export to Excel and save the file to your computer.
- Open Microsoft Word, create a new document, and then click Mailings in the main menu.
- Click Start New Mail Merge, and then select Labels.
The Label Options screen opens. - Select the Information for the manufacturer of your label paper and click OK.
- In the Mailings menu, click Select Recipients, and then select Use an Existing List.
- Navigate to and select your exported Excel file, and then click Open.
Note: If Excel needs to convert the file, allow it. - Select the sheet that contains the data (if you did not modify the Vantaca export, select Sheet 1).
- In the Mailings menu in Microsoft Word, click Insert Merge Field to set up your first label.
- Click Update Labels to copy the merge field to all labels.
- Use the Preview Results field to check the setup of the labels and make corrections as necessary.
- Click Finish and Merge and select Edit Individual Documents.
This creates a new document of labels so that you can review and print them.
To send a homeowner mailing list to a third party
Use the Homeowner Address Export. This export is only offered in Excel. If you need a CSV file, follow these instructions:
- Open your Excel file.
- Go to File > Save As (or File > Export depending on your version).
- Choose the location where you want to save the file.
- In the Save as type dropdown, select CSV (Comma delimited) *.csv.
- Click Save.
- If your workbook has multiple sheets, Excel will only save the active sheet to CSV.
- You may see a warning about features not compatible with CSV (like formulas, formatting, multiple sheets) — click OK to continue.
