now open a new google document > plugins > avery tag combination > new combination
now, a small popup will appear, select “address tags“.
here, you need to select the sheet pattern according to your requirements. we will select “10 labels per sheet”.
In this step, select the spreadsheet where all the addresses are saved and you need to merge them.
we will select the spreadsheet called “addresses”.
in the left sidebar, click first name, lastname and address. all three terms should appear in the box labeled “label or name tag“.
Now, click “merge” at the bottom of the sidebar to start the merging process.
a pop-up will appear with a confirmation message of the created document. click open to see the final sheet.
a new google doc will open with the address labels that are ready to print.
