I am trying to create a mailing list in microsoft office word so that I can
print labels for my Christmas cards. How do I create a list of names and
addresses?

Create a document containing a table with as many columns as you need for
the fields in your address
e.g. Name, Street, City, State, Zip, etc
and then enter the data into the rows of the table. Save this document in
the My Documents\My Data Source folder
