Browsing the posts regarding printing labels directly from Outlook, it seems
that at least 20-30% of posts are looking for this feature.

It would seem that if we have a prorgram which is capable of organizing our
contact data, it would only make sense to be able to further use it.

I need to print labels frequently. I don't want to have to take a single
contact or several contacts and go through a whole procedure of mail merging
to just print them out to stick on a package. I don't need to create
documents, word process or manipulate the fields I want just want to print. I
just want to take a set of contacts and click "Print" and go back to doing my
real work.

I can appreciate those who need to actually do a mail merge, but it's much
more than I need. All I want to do is quickly print data from a contact. It
looks like someone has decided how you are supposed to use Outlook and
Office. I may be mistaken, but I thought the whole idea is that we should be
able to use it how it fits our needs.

I have seen numerous posts with the intonation of, "Well why not just use
Word to do it?". How about saying "Why use Word to do it?" Why use 2 programs
to do what one program can do?

It can be done as I am finding. Dymo makes an add-in for Outlook to allow
you to print labels directly from within the application. Any thought that MS
could add that into the application itself? But I'd really prefer not to have
to buy something else to make this work.

Outlook is supposed to save me work. Taking a single contact and having to
go through a mail merge wizard, then create a data set, then open a new
document, then merge the data to the document, to then print it seems
terribly cumbersome. Selecting a contact and clicking print label is way too
simple.
